Attention - Huomio!!!
70 years ago, on the 6th of June, the allied forces - mainly Americans, British and Canadian troops - started the invasion in Normandy. BIG thanks for that, since the world would be a lot different without the efforts of those millions of soldiers involved, and particularly those who died on the battle field. About 400.000 of them in the weeks after the invasion, including the German soldiers.
I've been there, in Normandy, and I can tell you it is worth the visit no matter if you are at all interested in war or history or not. If you have a chance, GO!!! There are sooooo many angles to the area and history; museums, cemeteries - also German one, towns and villages, nature, beaches, people, culture, architecture, food, wine, cider...

Jos teillä on mahdollisuus mennä tutustumaan Normandian maihinnousun tapahtumapaikkoihin, suosittelen sitä lämpimästi! Olen ollut siellä ja voin kertoa sen olevan hyvin vaikuttavaa, huolimatta siitä oletko kiinnostunut sotahistoriasta tai et. Se on merkittävä osa maailman historiaa!
Alueeseen on monia näkökulmia ja koettavaa; museot, hautausmaat, kaupungit ja kylät, rannat, ihmiset, kulttuuri, arkkitehtuuri, ruoka, viini, siideri...
