ORIGINAL FOOTAGE! Ultimate Then & Now Compilation | Cherbourg | Normandy WW2

In this video I show you some of my favourite Then & Now locations to film.
The US 79th Infantry Division led the way in assaulting Cherbourg’s Fort du Roule on June 25, 1944, and two Americans would receive Medals of Honor for their heroic conduct.

Capturing Cherbourg and its harbor installations was considered vital for the long-term viability of the Normandy landings, for no matter how many supplies were brought ashore on the artificial Mulberry harbors, they could not compete with the capacity of modern port facilities.

In this video I show you four of my favourite then and now pictures and story behind them. If you enjoy this video let me know in the comments. I'd love to hear from you.
