Maravilhosa sua coleção de fotos, parabéns!!!

why, why, why..........citizens never want war they sure never want this........destruction. what goes around comes around. same for love. try it, the pics would be outstanding

This was an awesome collection. I'm still looking through them.

I have always dreamed of this! Thank you so much from the very bottom of my heart.

These are amazing. Oh, how the world has changed. Thanks for sharing these.

I absolutely love the concept of this. The great wars should be remembered and we must remember those who fought for us.
These pictures are reality (not tv) and it helps those of the younger generations to appreciate the devastation of war.

Very touching and intriguing to see the before and after's. Some of it was devastated and had to be rebuilt, and some not so much. It always amazes me when things like church steeples did not get hit and remain to this day.

I agree that this should be all put in a book.

Thanks for sharing these pictures, they are just amazing

i may be wrong but i think some of those come from brittany and not normandy

Very moving

For some reason I find the old black and white pictures of the damaged building even more beautiful than the new ones of the restored, not sure why.

It's great! how many years did you search for this pics?

Great Photo's, fantastic research from the photographer, makes very interesting viewing. Must of taken a lot of time and patience to match all those locations.

Also great testament to the residents of Normandy, that they rebuilt everything rather than just pulling down what are ruins and building new different homes, shops and churches. They returned the area to how it was before the war.

Great reminder of what was an awful time for mankind

These are really amazing. I am just shocked by them. Thanks for posting

its was worth the time to look ..i even got my kids to have a look great work m8 ;)

Amazing job, these pictures make me want to visist

great collection of photos , mate.....

I have visited Normandy twice and will go again. it is truly amazing the way they have rebuit the area to appear as it was prior to WWII. The cemetery is one of the most beautiful places on earth and the fallen heros resting there and what they accomplished together must never be forgotten.

now you should show detroit then and after the same years

Boy oh boy the arrogance and derisiveness of Americans. We were so arrogant - we assumed the French didn't want to learn German; and we were so derisive we fought like hell to kick the Germans out of France before most of them could finish learning Ze Deutsch!
All hail the Chosen One - King Hussein Obama! He is so smart!

Agree with all comments that these are exceptional photos put together with painstaking effort by a talented person that has shown his appreciation of an historic era in world history without politicising it. Great Job. As a side issue...for those folks who wondered about the close attention to detail during the reconstruction of buildings in Europe; I just returned from a trip to Europe and was informed by tour guide personnel that most reconstruction of old WWII buildings is done under close scrutiny of the governing authorities and exteriors must be reproduced under exacting conditions to hold the appearance to the original building---however, the interiors are quite modern and can be gutted and rebuilt to the owners specifications.

Astonishing and wonderful. All of those beautiful buildings would have been demolished in the U.S.
