Mulberry Cassions

Mulberry Cassions
These are some of the concrete caissons used on D-Day and after to form an artificial harbor and piers at Arromanches. The caissons were towed across the English Channel and sunk to form the artificial harbor code-named "Mulberry." The harbor was later wrecked by a storm but part of it can still be seen out at sea and on the beach at Arromanches. Several parts are visible on the horizon just above these beached caissons.

Your documentation of the relics of that time seems to be a must, especially in view of the current political and social developments in many countries.
Teaching about the inhuman atrocities committed by the Nazis should be a permanent part of education in homes, schools and cultural institutions.

I'd like to reply to your comment here to ensure context.

I agree, Ron. Historical revisionism, not just in individual cases (pers. note), is one thing; the other is the passing over in schools for other things and the fact that many simply don't want to know about.
Finally, subsequent generations claim the right to make their own mistakes, even if they repeat the mistakes of previous generations, which shows that many lack the necessary maturity.
And yet, as no one should seriously deny, we share responsibility together
