D-Day, the Sixth of June
An installation of 1,000 casts of World War II Russian, German and American combat helmets, which also represent turtles, was created by French artist Rachid Khimoune, shown above. The helmets are sitting on Omaha Beach in Colleville sur Mer, western France. The statues, exhibited for the 67th anniversary of the June 6, 1944 allied landings in Normandy, aim at symbolizing “the never ending horrors of war.”
