Dnes je tomu přesně sedmdesát let, co se spojenecká vojska vylodila na plážích Normandie.

Toto vylodění po čtyřech letech otevřelo západní frontu a bylo jednou z největších vojenských operací druhé světové války. Operace Overlord se často nazývá také Den-D.

Přinášíme skutečně zajímavé, silné a kontrastní fotografie, které porovnávají konkrétní místa pobřeží francouzské Normandie z období druhé světové války a následně z dnešní doby.
