The D-Day Story Museum Portsmouth – Is a visually stunning museum. The museum tells the story of one of the most historic days during World War 2, presented in a fresh visually stunning series of displays, mixing film, vehicles, visuals and original exhibits. My film takes you on a tour of the museum.
On the 6 June 1944, during World War 2, the allies invaded the Normandy beaches, which started the battle to free Europe from Nazi control. D-Day was the largest amphibious military assault in history. The Normandy landing was the beginning of the end of the war in Europe.
The D Day story is told in three parts, the preparation, D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. The museum also houses the remarkable Overlord Embroidery which tells the full story of the invasion.
Reasons to visit –
• Stunning visual displays.
• Overlord Embroidery – a WW2 Bayeaux tapestry.
• Over 10,000 exhibits, including vehicles, uniforms, weapons
and original artefacts.
• Among the nominated museums for European Museum of the
Year 2019.
The D-Day Story tells the personal stories of ordinary people who took part in this extraordinary day. The museum has recently undergone a £5 million pound refurbishment so provides excellent facilities and a fresh, modern experience for visitors. The museum is the only one in the UK to focus solely on telling the D-Day story.
Interesting facts –
2019 is the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.
The D in D Day doesn’t actually mean anything! It was just a code word for the date of the invasion. The code name for the Normandy Landings was actually Operation Neptune.
The invasion was originally scheduled to start on the 5 June 1944 but was delayed by bad weather.
D Day was the largest seaborne invasion in history, involving over 156,000 allied troops and over 5,000 vessels.
The American troops on Omaha Beach encountered the heaviest fighting. They came under heavy fire from the German defences that were still intact despite allied bombing and some 2,400 troops were either killed, wounded or missing as a result of the fighting.
The Canadians at Juno Beach captured the most territory out of the allies but met stiff opposition and also suffered heavy casualties.
The Overlord embroidery is 272 feet long and is the largest embroidery of its kind in the world.

Waltkhrough Tour of the D-Day Story musem
The D-Day Story (formerly the D-Day Museum) is a visitor attraction located in Southsea, Portsmouth in Hampshire, England. It tells the story of Operation Overlord during the Normandy D-Day landings. Originally opened as the D-Day Museum in 1984 by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, it reopened as the D-Day Story, following a refurbishment funded by a £5 million Heritage Lottery grant, in March 2018.
The story is told in three parts: Preparation; D-Day and the Battle of Normandy; Legacy and the Overlord Embroidery.
The Legacy gallery features the Overlord Embroidery, commissioned to remember those who took part in D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. The embroidery took five years to complete and measures 272 feet (83 m) long. Film clips of veterans talking about their experiences give visitors further insight into what took place.
The museum is run by Portsmouth Museum Services, a branch of Portsmouth City Council, and is supported by Portsmouth D-Day Museum Trust, a registered charity.
The museum closed in March 2017 to undergo a £5 million refurbishment and allow for conservation work on exhibits. New exhibits include the pencil that started the invasion – the pencil used by Lt. Cdr. John Harmer to sign the order for Force G (naval forces assigned to Gold Beach) to sail to Normandy.

With cannons booming and warplanes forming a giant 50 overhead,
Queen Elizabeth II and her yacht Britannia led an international
armada across the English Channel Sunday (5/6) to commemorate the
allied invasion of Europe half a century ago. The sky was a bright
blue after an Atlantic squall drenched Saturday's parades and
played havoc with celebrations in the channel port of Portsmouth,
one of several from which the D-Day invasion was launched on June
6, 1944.

In total, British, Commonwealth and Allied casualties (killed, wounded or missing) on D-Day numbered approximately 4,300. The invasion established a crucial second front in the liberation of Europe from Nazi occupation, ultimately leading to victory for Allied Forces in 1945.
