lashonharangue
I am a bit of a history nerd, so in December of 2019 my spouse and I rented a car and did a self guided tour of the Normandy D-Day beaches and museums. Because it was off season several of the museums were closed but we still saw and learned a lot.
Before the trip we read Antony Beevor’s history of the invasion and battle for Normandy. The book describes the amount of devastation that occurred with the fighting after the initial landing. Without having read it, I might not have noticed how little older architecture we saw driving around the area.
The Canadian Juno Beach Centre is a great museum. There was lots to see there. I had read about the Enigma machine and the efforts to decipher it at Bletchley Park. This was a chance to see one! Did I mention I am a history nerd?
