We went there 4 weeks ago. It touched me far more than I expected. So emotional when you realize that these giants paid the ultimate price for our freedom. The shadows of these silhouets with their heads all bowed down to the ground enhance the emotional experience. Certainly worth the visit. The memorial is located at Val sur Mer, not far from Arromanche and will be only there until September this year.

Totally humbling, so s😅ad but wonderful.

As a guardian to this great memorial I think the silhouettes are a great addition. Thank you Colin for making everyone aware and the opportunity to visit.

I visited a couple of weeks ago when the team were installing it, myself and my wife were very honoured to help out for a hour staking in the guide lines.
A very moving memorial .

Enjoy your videos very much here in America. How about do one on the 3rd armored division Sergeant pooil, he was the one that the movie fury was based on.the real war daddy. And you have touched on the major Waters of the Canadian armor forces. And you done an excellent one on the German tank Ace Michael wittman. You could even do one on the Canadian armor ordnance crewman that were delivering you fireflies out to an armored unit and had very little training as far as the combat use of the fireflies only the ordnance and repair of the fireflies but yet they managed to knock out seven panther tanks and damage to others. This happened outside of the village where the German SS Hitler youth stopped for their photo opportunity shots for the propaganda magazine and then they proceeded on to this town of Roth and got ambushed by the Canadian infantry. It is sad fact that you have to be very careful as to how you describe events that occurred so you do not get demonetized on RUclips. And I have a tip for you from an old original RUclips blogger you cannot talk faster or louder than a barking dog. I learned that lesson when I done the history series for a college of walking with Sherman from Chattanooga Tennessee to North Carolina.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've had Sgt Pool suggested before; He's on my todio list.
The village where the SS had their photo op was Rots. They wer on their wayto attack Bretteville l'Orgueilleuse.

The music is so inappropriate and unnecessary
