Wow. How did you find the same houses and places.
Amazing that they did not demolish the old buildings from 1944 and they are still around in 2012.
Like to see the WW2 documentaries they show on History Channel. The US had great generals in WW2. Like Patton.
In Vietnam, US troops were let down by a clueless General Westmoreland whose idea of winning was bodycount. The US troops were asked to sacrifice to capture an objective and then ordered to withdraw and let the Viets take the hill back without a fight weeks later. This was constantly repeated and destroyed morale.
General Westmoreland - one of the top 10 most useless

Thanks ricohflex, just my love and passion on war history, and my childhood dream which determine me to research and find the exact site.
And yes, all the buildings are still around today.
I got one photo of General George Smith Patton with General Dwight D. Eisenhower and General Omar Bradley at Bastogne,
after US Forces retaken Bastogne from Germans during the Battle of Bugle.
Here the sneak preview of Battle of Bugle, I will post more soon.
Dec 1944 - General Patton, General Eisenhower and General Bradley at Bastogne

One of the notable local inland battles fought in Normandy was
The battle for Lingèvres from 13th-15th June 1944.
Lingèvres was the scene of heavy fighting.
Lingèvres would be attacked by the 9th British Durham Light Infantry and tanks support from the British 4th/7th Dragoon Guards.
Jun 1944 - A knock out Sherman tank at Lingèvres.
Notice the holes from German shells in front of the hull near the transmission.
