I found these online a couple of years ago. Two articles from Stars & Stripes, very interesting reading and the pictures are amazing.

 

"Three years after D-Day, Normandy's pastoral scene shows few signs of invasion"

"Two veteran sergeants revisit former beachheads along the Normandy coast"

Great articles and photos, just hard to imagine how it was 3 or ten years after the battle.

Realy interesting, Thanks!

In that second article, there's actually a picture of the Brittany US cemetery at Saint James about 70 miles from Omaha Beach (which incidentally is still located in Normandy???)....
