Don't forget pictures from the other side.  Kinda hard to find German pictures at D-Day.

Good point!
It is conveniently forgotten in the West that without the sacrifices of the Russian people and the successes of the Red Army which concentrated the main efforts of the Wehrmacht on the Eastern front, the Allies might not have dared to open up another front in the West!

The opening of a Western front was significant for the war and the future development in Europe, but Germany had lost anyway.

The Eastern Front was beyond doubt more important than the Western Front, but the theories that says that the Allies could have launced an invasion early and that they were waiting until the Soviets had done the hard work are wrong. The Soviets did make the hard work but the Westallies couldn't have change that outcome.
