This is feeling rather strange making a comment on my own work. When you read, watch film and believe you can understand why these people died in nothing more then a meat grinder, I can't imagine for a single moment what it must of been like. You have a job, you switch off, and do your best to get the job done. Pointe Du Hoc was a blood bath, and while thinking how I was going to keep this extreme while doing my best to graphically illustrate this, I also tried not to show to much of it, two thirds of those brave men lost their lives that day, so there was no way I could build this like a day at the seaside, if this diorama is offensive to anyone, I make NO apologies for it. Thank you for your time.
