Then & Now pics

[giconceptsjw]

“After the Battle” Magazine has always fascinated me with their current & original battlefield comparison photos. Here are a few modern photos compared to original wartime photos taken from a similar point of view at the same battlefield location. I took these during my trips to Tarawa, Iwo Jima & Normandy. I know some of you have also visited other battle sites so let’s see your “then & now” shots.

 

Here is the link:

I have finally found a photo of the Duc My Biệt-Động-Quân (Vietnamese Ranger) camp. Some US advisors were based there. After 1975, the camp has been used by the northern army, hence the changes. But this is the place !
