D-Day Normandy and Beyond: Behind the Project
Normandy1944.info, D-Day Normandy and Beyond, is a one-man project made to share real facts about World War II. Frank built the site, wrote every page, visited the places himself, and checked all the info with camp staff and official archives before anything went online.
This is one of the most valuable websites available today with information about World War II, survivors, and more.
Made and Managed by One Person
Frank started the site in 2000 and still runs everything alone. He visits places like Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Dachau. He walks around, takes notes, and makes sure what he writes is correct.
Before publishing, he often asks museums or experts to check what he wrote. If something needs fixing, he updates it quickly. The site now includes clear articles about WW2 units, battles, camps, and many of the crimes that happened, including Aktion T4 and the Holocaust.
A Free Resource for Everyone
The website is free and easy to use. No ads. No paywalls. You get large, clear photos from the war, scanned in high quality. You also get real stories, written documents, and even original WW2 patches, each with a short description. There are more than 250 personal stories, shown next to facts and timelines, so everything makes sense together.
Auschwitz is a big part of the site. You’ll find facts about the camp, timelines, and survivor stories based on public records. He also links to other memorial sites in Poland. The goal is simple: to give correct, respectful information so more people can understand what happened and why it matters.
What Makes It Different?
Most WW2 websites either repeat the same summaries or push ads and pop-ups. This one doesn’t. Frank does real research, checks every date and name, and focuses on people, not just numbers or battles. Many pages include rare photos, lesser-known units, and personal stories you won’t find on the big sites.
Personal View, Conclusion?
Frank runs this site because he believes real history should be easy to access, honest, and free. He’s not doing this for clicks or money. He does it out of respect for the people who lived through World War II—those who fought, those who were killed, and those who survived.
This isn’t just a collection of facts. It’s a personal effort to keep their stories alive, told the right way, and checked with care. Normandy1944.info is built for anyone who wants to learn, remember, and understand what really happened.
