 Normandy: Pointe du Hoc |
|
We left the American Cemetery and went to Pointe du Hoc, where American rangers climbed the cliffs to assault a major German battery. And it took me a few minutes to realize that the giant craters in the ground were scars from the cannons and the fighting. And it was all very surreal to walk down into the darkness of the bunkers and to stand on the earth still shaped by these explosions, but not burned or charred, just grassy and lovely in a weird way.
