May 6, 1944

[Weatherman2020]

80 years ago, on May 6, 1944, one month to the day before D-Day, Lt. Albert Lanker of the 31st Photo Reconnaissance Squadron flew his F-5 Lightning fast and low over a beach on the Normandy coast. His job was to photograph the beach obstructions for the planners of the invasion.

You’ll note the Germans diving for cover.
Also note the distance of the beach to the bluffs at low tide. Those obstacles are submerged at high tide so the decision was made to land at low tide to expose them.

And they slaughtered 4,415 Allies a month later to protect fascism.

Stinking Nazis.

If they were not Nazis they were wearing the wrong uniform.
