Post-war beach clearance
How long was it before beach defences in the United Kingdon were demolished after VE Day - all the scaffolding poles, barbed wire, and mine fields?

Re: Post-war beach clearance
No idea... I do know a Danish beach was "cleared" as late as LAST MONTH or so!

Re: Post-war beach clearance
Some claim parts were dismantled long before VE day. Some beaches were cleared to allow preactice landing exercises. Some of the obstacles were susposed to have been taken up for the steel, which was in extremly short supply in Britian.
