Edhe pse ka shumë dekada që ka mbaruar, gjurmët e Luftës së Dytë Botërore mund të shihen kudo përgjatë bregdetit britanik.

Këto kurthe dhe bunkerë ishin ngritur për të rezistuar ndaj një pushtimi nazist.

Marc Wilson ka vendosur të dokumentojë këto gjurmë.

Fotografi 46- vjeçar ka udhëtuar 23 milje në 143 relike bregdetare në Britani, por edhe në Francë, Danimarkë, Norvegji, etj.

Concrete tank defences in the forests near Lossiemouth, Moray Camouflage: A pillbox among rocks at St Michael's Mount, Cornwall, a strategic defence since the time of the Spanish Armada. In 1940, it was again garrisoned and fortified with a light anti-aircraft battery and three pillboxes made deliberately to blend with their surroundings Essex's Dengie peninsula had to be defended, as it would have offered invaders a short passage to London bypassing the Thames and the Medway In Studland Bay, wartime defences have become overgrown and almost completely hidden by trees near the water line Cracked: The elements had hewn this German defence in two at Wissant, northern France. The Nazis believed the Allies would regard Wissant, the closest point on mainland Europe to the English coast, as an ideal beach for an invasion. This defence was removed in 2013 Grim: This fortification at Abbot's Cliff, part of the famous white cliffs of Dover in Kent, would have been a crucial lookout for enemy planes Striking: On the other side of the Channel, at Arromanches les Bains, the British built a floating harbour which was used for ten months, landing 2.5 million men, 500,000 vehicles and 4 million tonnes of supplies. It can still be seen today as distant black specks in the water Flekkeroya, Norway, where German soldiers built a huge coastal fortress preventing Allies from using the Skagerrak - the stretch of sea between Norway and Denmark Mr Wilson travelled 23,000 miles for his project and spent £16,000
