EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the fading plaques of the US 2nd Armored Division's "Hell on Wheels" Memorial, located on the wall of Club Belambra on Omaha Beach in Normandy, France. The Division, renowned for its iconic Sherman tanks, landed on the shores of Normandy on June 9, 1944, and went into action on June 11. The 741st Tank Battalion, part of the Division, had landed on June 6 but unfortunately lost most of their floating tanks in the heavy seas. The Exit 3 sign visible in the background of the image marks the spot where the Division's tanks exited the beach, making their way inland to support the D-Day invasion forces. The faded plaques serve as a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifices made by the soldiers of the 2nd Armored Division during the pivotal Battle of Normandy. Their arrival on the beaches of Normandy marked a turning point in the war, and their impact on the battlefield was significant. The Club Belambra, a popular tourist destination, stands as a testament to the history that unfolded on this very spot over 75 years ago. The Memorial, though faded, remains an important part of the history of the D-Day landings and the larger narrative of World War II. The image invites us to pause and reflect on the past, and to remember the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought for freedom and democracy during one of the most defining moments in human history.
