I love this picture because I feel like it shows the true scale of Operation Overlord better than most media does.

The beginning of the end. Every knowledgeable Nazi knew that their loss was inevitable.

Agree, the only thing that puts it into perspective more is visiting any part of it and seeing the true insanity Hitler had constructed in the Atlantic Wall.

This landing was incredibly brave and daring considering the German defenses, and the big victory was mostly thanks to counterintelligence getting into Hitler’s head, causing him to not listen to Rommel.

And the second silver lining this photo gives me is that era’s of like that of Trump always bring about insane human resolve, so there is hope we once again will land on the Canadian beaches and free them too in the near future.
