According to place marks in this field, this was the site of WN 71 strongpoint. I have attempted to label these correctly, further information would be welcome.
That is some nice work Larry! While I do not have anything specific to add to that strong point, I can offer up this Omaha Beach aerial photo overlay. It is just east of your place marks. I do not recall where I originally found this... Attachments:Omaha Beach Overlay.kmz (93.79 KB)

Hi Scraps - thanx for the overlay. I have been trying to align it with present-day features with no luck so far. Could it be that the landscape has changed so much? The only feature that I can be sure of is the road ending at the beach!

The only feature that I can be sure of is the road ending at the beach! Hmm, that is a bit odd as I was under the assumption that the overlay as a KMZ already had coordinates. Only by simply opening it in GE, it looks like this for me:  |
