    I watched the progress between Omaha beach and Pointe Du Hoc. The 2nd Rangers lost so many men taking the Pointe only to discover the guns had been removed. After finding and destroying the 5 guns hidden inland, they held off several assaults until finally relieved 2 days later when Omaha troops made it to them. Incredible bravery and sacrifice. This map is incredible. Thanks for your excellent work!

    You can't tell by this map because the lines appeared to stop moving but the main, most viscous and protracted battle of Normandy was being fought around Caen, not Cherbourg so the line there appears to be stationary. The Germans opposed the Brits, Canadians, Poles on that front with elite SS and Panzer units and the battle continued for about a month before the Germans withdrew further in.

    That's just amazing. You can easily make other important events of the WW2 like the Eastern Front or the WW2 in Yugoslavia or small events, such as the annexation of the Baltic States to the USSR

    Very high quality as I thought it would be :))) The only thing I think i can say is that i wish there were more towns on the map but I don't exactly know the local geography of northern France anyway so why bother haha. You can totally do big-scale and small-scale projects :p
