World War 2 battle on Skegness beach
Photos of `American soldiers’ attacking Nazi soldiers during a re-enactment of the D-day landings during WW2 on the Skegness beach
The photographs capture some of the typical events that took place when British, American and other Allied forces attacked strongly-defended Nazi defensive positions in Normandy, France, during World War 2.
In one photograph, American soldiers are taking cover behind a replica Nazi anti-tank defence, in the same way that Allied troops took cover behind Nazi anti-tank defences on D day, before making a dash for the sand dunes.
In another photograph, an American soldier is seen firing his weapon, while another moves up to re-enforce him. In the last photograph, both soldiers are seen firing their weapons.
The photographs are to be used in Skegness Revisited, a nostalgia type publication dedicated to the history of Skegness, featuring historical events and historical human interest stories.
