Unfortunately, I have no choice but to play with Google Maps (which works quite well but does not allow a 100% result) to reproduce 1944 spots with 2023 spots perfectly to allow you to make a comparison. To say the truth, I am waiting to have enough cash to buy a good Nikon or Canon camera (visitors donations) with the objectives required for this kind of work. I am talking here about a sum of almost 10k-€. So in the meantime here is what I propose as images in the Tend and Now category. I am adding a Google Map Link to allow overseas readers to visit virtually the area. Remember that EUCMH is a nonprofit endeavor. (Thanks to Ludovic Delcourt for the help in finding some places unknown to me)
