You are now watching this film instead of my website: Music Inspired by D-Day, a film by Fred Vogels. For twenty-three years I devoted myself to research, commemorations, music, and countless journeys to Normandy. Thousands of hours of work, unforgettable encounters, memories and tears. What once started as an idea became a lifelong mission. Now that mission has come to an end. The website www.ww2history.eu (formerly www.backtonormandy.org) is closed – and what remains is this film. Music Inspired by D-Day tells in 1 hour and 20 minutes the story of the road to D-Day: the preparations, the crossing of the Channel, the bloody landings on the beaches, and finally the downfall of the Nazi regime.

It briefly touches on the mobilization in the Netherlands, then follows the military operations, the liberation of the camps, and finally the last farewell: the journey of WWII veterans back to Normandy (The Last Pilgrimage). Images, music, and editing are entirely my own. This film is my tribute – a lifelong work made possible only with the love and support of my wife. #DDay #WWII #MusicInspiredByDDay For more info: https://fredvogels.com or    / @birdspublishing   Thanks for all your support! Fred Vogels U ziet nu deze film in plaats van mijn website: Music Inspired by D-Day, een film van Fred Vogels. Drieëntwintig jaar lang heb ik mij ondergedompeld in onderzoek, herdenkingen, muziek en talloze reizen naar Normandië. Duizenden uren werk, ontelbare ontmoetingen, tranen en herinneringen. Wat begon als een idee werd een levenswerk. Nu sluit ik dit hoofdstuk af. De website www.ww2history.eu (voorheen www.backtonormandy.org) stopt – en wat overblijft is deze film. Music Inspired by D-Day vertelt in 1 uur en 20 minuten het verhaal van de aanloop naar D-Day: de voorbereidingen, de oversteek van het Kanaal, de bloedige landingen op de stranden, en uiteindelijk de val van het naziregime. De film begint bij het gewone leven van de Joodse gemeenschap, tegenover de opkomst van het nazisme. Ook de mobilisatie in Nederland komt kort voorbij. Daarna volgen de militaire operaties, de bevrijding van de kampen, en als slot het laatste afscheid: de laatste reis van WOII-veteranen naar Normandië (The Last Pilgrimage). Beelden, muziek en montage zijn volledig door mij gemaakt. Het is mijn eerbetoon – een levenswerk dat ik alleen kon volbrengen dankzij de steun en liefde van mijn vrouw. #DDay #WWII #MusicInspiredByDDay Fred Vogels’ channel @Birdspublishing offers a captivating and unconventional glimpse into the life and musical journey of a talented musician and composer.
