On the Pointe Du Hoc photo you can really see how the cliff has eroded away. On my last visit there in 2002, the forward observation bunker was off limits due to the cliff's erosion. I wonder if its open today.

Anyone know the story behind the downed allied plane on the beach?

Mooxe, 7A_Bjorn was just at Pointe Du Hoc two weeks ago.  I'll ask him.

Here's another link where the 2 images have been merged. I've seen this done for some Berlin photo's as well.

In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited and
found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some of the great Close Combat
mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank all the members of our volunteer staff that have
helped over the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!
