Im planning to bulid a diorama of the landings on Omaha beach in '44. Where can I find pictures of what it looked like in '44, have been to the actual beach but it's i hard to get a picture of what it looked like almost 60 years ago.

Wow Juno...that sounds like quite the project. It would be great if you kept us posted on your progress. Also why would someone with the screen name "Juno" build a diorama on Omaha beach and not Juno?

Good luck to ya!

Hi Juno. From what your posrt reads, i take it that you were part of this awesome
invasion force ? A real honest to goodness Hero right here on Armorama !
If this is so, I have a zillion questions I like to ask you
That's with your permission of course.
