This Then and Now photograph was taken in Rauray, a small village south-west of Caen, Normandy. Beginning on June 26, 1944, Rauray became the scene of heavy fighting during Operation Epsom, part of the British advance following the D-Day landings.

One striking World War II photograph is often circulated as proof of Canadian soldiers storming Juno Beach under fire on D-Day.

The photo below often circulates on social media and frequently catches attention. It is sometimes presented as showing the landing on Utah Beach, and at other times as Omaha Beach. Curious about its true origin, I decided to investigate.

Pointe du Hoc became on DDay the site of one of the most famous feat of arms.
