Normandy Hedgerow diagram/layout

Post by AJWW2 » Wed Dec 14, 2011 6:37 pm

I feel like I'm asking for help with everything...

Can anyone give me a diagram (like a bird's-eye view) of some hedgrows in Normandy? I am making a diorama and I already made a base out of foam but I think I screwed it up in terms of realism and authenticity. I need a new layout to follow. Please Help.

Thanks,

AJ :mrgreen:

That's very helpful, are those white planes in the second pic airborne gliders? Was the fighting mostly in the roads, or in the fields as well?

Thanks,

AJ

You don't choose the battlefield kid - fighting happens where it happens.
