Hey everybody, I am tossing around the idea to build a dio inspired by a scene from "Band of Brothers". The setting is based around a French barn. I think it is in episode 2 "Day of Days" where the paratroopers are attempting to group together and they are in what appears to be a farmyard. The barn and buildings appear as if they are stone, or some sort of masonry.
I did a lengthy Yahoo / Google search for French barns, Normandy architecture, etc, etc....but to no avail. I looked in the Time Life series of WWII books, but can't find any pictures of a typical 1940's era French farm, barn, farmhouse, etc.
Does anybody have any references, pictures, sources, or the like that can help me out?? Basically, I'm looking for the style of the buildings, what do they look like? Are they low one-story buildings, or tall two-story buildings? What are they constructed of--lumber, heavy timber, stone, or stucco??? Are the roofs thatch, or wood / tar shingles????
Any information would be helpful!! Thanks!
