D-DAY

http://www.dday-guide.com/

After “breaking into” Normandy on D-Day, a 3 month blood-letting, facing a tenacious opponent, was engaged before an allied “break out."towards the Seine. The resulting breakout, with other European fronts, eventually brought about the end of World War II in Europe just under a year later. Not forgetting many other key battles.

The dramatic events that took place in Normandy during that summer of 1944 are still very evident across the shores of D-Day and inland : The German defenses, the scars of battle, hundreds of memorials, increasing every year, countless museums, and the numerous war cemeteries across this beautiful region. The melancholy beauty of the cemeteries is the greatest contrast to the violence that made them such an omnipresent part of the landscape in Normandy.

There is much to see. To relate what happened, from the general strategy and actions to the moving stories of the individuals that took part, is a task I would be delighted to help you with should you wish to make an inquiry.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO CONSIDER FOR A SUCCESSFUL TOUR !
Though it is of course possible to visit the D-Day sites on a day trip into Normandy, be aware that it is a large region and should really be appreciated by staying for more than one day.
The D-Day coast itself is 50 miles in length and cannot really be appreciated by rushing through it. Omaha beach for example is a 4-mile beach, the German positions, the Memorials, running across it. The Pointe du Hoc, nearby, is a 30-acre site. The US military cemetery is a 172-acre site. To rush these places, with the stories they hold, is to defeat the point of understanding their true significance.
