France Vacation page 5 - Pointe du Hoc


Yes, those are still bomb craters. All of the bunkers , Tobruk's and gun emplacements were connected by trenches or tunnels.


That was a gun emplacement before it got bombed. The concrete is 3-5 feet thick. You can only imagine the explosion that moved all that concrete around like that.


Several of us were discussing the mass of concrete and the devestation that took place.

Normandie Tours 40/45

We met these guys in the parking lot before we went to Pointe du Hoc above. They offer tours to visit the historical D-Day sites in one of their restored army vehicles. You can book for an hour, a half-day or a full day tour. They also offer 7-day tours where they set up camp in Army tents. How cool is that? John could not pry himself away from talking trucks and parts.


Discussion over the correctness of this, that and the other thing. Very NICE guys. If you are going over there, look them up.
