Haunting Reminder Of Millions Of Lives Lost In War As Artists Stencil 9,000 Bodies Onto Normandy Beach To Mark Peace Day



  • British led project covered the famous coastline in poignant silhouettes
  • A team of 500 artists and volunteers contributed the moving installation
  • The 'fallen' were left to be washed away by the tide at the end of the day
A pair of British artists have created this stunning installation of 9,000 silhouettes on a D-Day Landings beach to mark international Peace Day.

The project, named, 'The Fallen' is a tribute to the civilians, German forces and Allies who lost their lives during the Operation Neptune landing on June 6, 1944.

The design was the brainchild of Jamie Wardley, 33, and Andy Moss, 50.

  2. Its a freaking shame that our children aren't taught why so many Americans gave their lives there. Calling Hitler a bad guy (along with Marx, Lenin, Mao, and others) is "judging" and not a good way to indoctrinate children into believing that some people and some political philosophies are poisonous and deadly to the general population. "Wrong" is such a negative way to look at facism, socialism, and powerful central planning.
