Fallen Heroes of Normandy Links for Archive and Website

The Fallen Heroes of Normandy is a not-for-profit organisation providing a free-to-access online historical archive and memorial to those, of all nationalities, who lost their lives in Normandy, France, during The Second World War.

Each person, who now rests in Normandy and died in the Second World War, will have their own memorial page, where researchers, friends and family may add information, documents, memories and photographs about the individual.

The Normandy Veteran Obituaries: Last Post page also commemorates Veterans who served on, over or along the shores of the Normandy battlefields during the Second World War.

The aim of the archive is to collate, and provide online, photographs, documents and information relating to those who fell in Normandy. Thereby helping to provide a permanent visual memorial to the fallen for future generations.

Our long-term aim for the Fallen Heroes of Normandy, is to publish free information packs for teachers, schools and colleges and help promote the battlefields of Normandy as a place to visit learn about the sacrifices that were made there.

The archive was founded by military historian and author Carl Shilleto and his wife Irena Zientek in 2009, after 10 years of research and work collating information on the fallen in Normandy. Carl has also works as photographer and Second World War battlefield guide in Europe for over 18 years, during which time he has accompanied many hundreds of veterans, and families of the fallen, to pay their respects to comrades and relatives buried in Normandy.

A few of his published works are:

•  The Fighting Fifty-Second Recce (foreword by Sir James Stormonth Darling) ISBN 0-9538677-1-4
•  D-Day and the Battle for Normandy (Guardian Book of the Week June, 2000) ISBN 1-56656-555-3
•  Pegasus Bridge and Horsa Bridge (foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales) ISBN 978-1-84884-309-7
•  Merville Battery & The Dives Bridges (foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales) ISBN 978-1-84884-519-0

Presently, due to publishing and project commitments, Carl only conducts battlefield tours and research in Normandy, France.
