Okay, this was NOT our hotel in Normandy! This was, however, a German bunker. An amazing tour of a battlefield along the coast with the shell craters inthe field along with access to the remains of the cement block bunkers used by the Germans. It was interesting to crawl and climb among all the heights and passages but you often caught yourself realizing that people died here and that it was a bloody, awful horror during the D-Day invasion. Sobering reflection.
One of the World War II witnesses we met during the tour said we should not encourage/let our children play war because it is not a child's game. So far, our generation has had a blessed existence in not being in the midst of a war with the bombing and death. Lots of prayers needed in this world to resolve issues and petition God for peace.
