I could look at these types of comparisons all day. Something like this in video would also be interesting. Kind of a video travelogue on WWII.

Great pics! I like studies like that, where you can see how little or how much an area has changed. For the historical tourist, it also adds a bit of fun to a trip, knowing that you're standing where a group of GI's once stood in 1944-45.

"Some guy came to me and asked me if I can go with him to show a friend what her father used in Nam. Just when he started to explain about my uniform, she started to cry. A lady came and hugged her. She thanked me for doing this for her." -- Chopper Rosado, FHPG reenactor.
