Pegasus Bridge-Merville Battery-Caen Memorial

Pegasus Bridge - Known as the Bridge of the Bridges.

On June 6, 1944, during World War II, this bridge, along with the nearby Ranville Bridge over the Orne River (later renamed Horsa Bridge), was the target of D Company, 2nd (Airborne) Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry. This glider-borne force was part of the 6th Airlanding Brigade of the 6th Airborne Division during Operation Deadstick, a component of Operation Tonga at the start of the Allied invasion of Normandy. Under Major John Howard’s command, D Company landed near the bridges in six AS 51 Horsa gliders and, in a coup-de-main operation, captured and held them until the main British invasion forces arrived. Securing the bridges was crucial in reducing the impact of a German counter-attack following the Normandy invasion.

Musee de la Batterie de Merville - The Merville Gun Battery, a decommissioned coastal fortification in Normandy, France, was part of the Germans’ Atlantic Wall to defend against Allied invasion. It was heavily fortified and one of the first targets during the Normandy Landings, known as D-Day. A British force led by Terence Otway captured this position, despite heavy casualties.

Memorial de Caen - The Mémorial de Caen is a museum and war memorial in Caen, Normandy, France, commemorating World War II and the Battle for Caen. The museum is dedicated to 20th-century history, focusing on the fragility of peace. It aims to “pay tribute to the martyred city of liberation” and recount “the terrible story of the 20th century in a spirit of reconciliation.”

American Cemetery in Omaha Beach-Nazi Cemetery-Pointe du Hoc-Arromanches-sur-mer

Omaha Beach Memorial Museum - Omaha Beach was the code name for one of the five sectors of the Allied invasion of German-occupied France during the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944. “Omaha” refers to an 8-kilometer (5 mi) stretch of the Normandy coast, facing the English Channel, from east of Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes to west of Vierville-sur-Mer on the Douve River estuary, with cliffs approximately 150 feet (45 m) high. The landings were essential to connect the British landings at Gold to the east with the American landing at Utah to the west, creating a continuous foothold on the Normandy coast of the Bay of the Seine. United States Army troops were responsible for taking Omaha, with sea transport, mine sweeping, and naval bombardment provided mainly by the United States Navy and Coast Guard, with support from the British, Canadian, and Free French navies.

Cimetiere Militaire Allemand de La Cambe - La Cambe is a German military war grave cemetery from World War II, located near the American landing beach of Omaha, 25.5 km (15.8 mi) northeast of Bayeux in Normandy, France. It is the largest German war cemetery in Normandy, containing over 21,200 German military personnel. Initially, American and German casualties were buried in adjacent fields, but American dead were later reinterred at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial 15 km (9.3 mi) away. After the war, over 12,000 German soldiers were moved to the cemetery from approximately 1,400 field burials across Normandy. The cemetery is maintained by the voluntary German War Graves Commission.

Pointe du Hoc - La Pointe du Hoc is a promontory with a 100-foot (30 m) cliff overlooking the English Channel on the northwestern coast of Normandy in the Calvados department, France.

During World War II, it was the highest point between the American sector landings at Utah Beach to the west and Omaha Beach to the east. The German army fortified the area with concrete casemates and gun pits. On D-Day, the United States Army Ranger Assault Group attacked and captured Pointe du Hoc after scaling the cliffs.

Arromanches 360 Circular Cinema - This is where all the tanks and logistics passed through to land and conquer France.

Utah Beach-Sainte-Mère-Église-The Great Bunker in Colleville-Montgomery and Hidden Bunkers

Utah Beach - Utah Beach was the code name for one of the five sectors of the Allied invasion of German-occupied France during the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944 (D-Day). The westernmost of the five code-named landing beaches in Normandy, Utah is on the Cotentin Peninsula, west of the Douve and Vire rivers’ mouths. Amphibious landings at Utah were conducted by United States Army troops, with sea transport, mine sweeping, and naval bombardment provided by the United States Navy and Coast Guard, along with elements from the British, Dutch, and other Allied navies.

Sainte-Mère-Église Church - Sainte-Mère-Église is a commune in the northwestern French department of Manche, in Normandy.

The church gained worldwide fame from the movie “The Longest Day,” which tells the story of a soldier from the airborne division who landed on the church tower and pretended to be dead to survive.

There is also an airborne museum worth visiting.

Colleville-Montgomery - The Hillman Fortress was a German bunker complex and command post built during World War II, located near Colleville-Montgomery in Normandy, France. The bunker complex, designated as Hill 61 and codenamed Hillman by the British, was attacked on June 6, 1944, by the Suffolk Regiment, and the fortress finally surrendered the following morning. The delay in capturing the bunker complex has been cited as a reason for the Allies not achieving their major D-Day objective of taking Caen.

The bunkers are now open as a museum, operated by local volunteers.
