Normandy Campaign:From the Beaches and Beyond
While most Americans are well-aware of the landings on Omaha and Utah beaches on the morning of June 6, 1944, they know a good deal less about what our other Allies experienced on D-Day or, more importantly the almost three months of brutal combat Allied soldiers faced even after they landed. I enjoy this tour because it gives me to complete the story of what happened in Normandy in the summer of 1944.

A memorial to the Third British Infantry Division.
