The picture I found most interesting was that of the soldiers sitting in landing craft. I had always thought that landing craft were loaded just before the landing where soldiers would disembark from some larger ship. The photo implies that they drove or were towed across the channel in those craft. That any man was not sick from that voyage would seem miraculous.

Many were terribly sick during D-Day, for sure. The army issued sea-sickness pills before the attack. Still the ride was so terrible many threw up during the crossing, and were already very weak before they got out on the beach. Saving Private Ryan had this kind of scenes iirc. And reportedly yet many more suffered side-effects and got killed because they had trouble staying awake.

The picture of the dead German soldier and the contemporary family left me a string impression.

The one with three soldiers and then the photo of the young woman styled as a bikini ad was tasteless

Thanks. Added the year above.
