  • D-Day 70th anniversary, Normandy. Burning Bridges.
    Driving shots were filmed in the lanes near St. Mere Eglise, Normandy, and along Omaha Beach road in a 1943 M3A1 Scout Car. Stills are a mix of recreations (taken at the same event), and originals.
    Music by Mike Curb Congregation - Burning Bridges - theme to Kelly's Heroes

      @Maria Strotz Stop it both of you. Seen both of you many times, first there's always the bot saying that they hacked their significant other's/friend's account on different platforms, and then a bot that pretends to be someone who sees that it works.
