Normandy ,Omaha and Gold-Beach ,the battlefields of D-Day

Omaha en Gold Beach played a crucial role during the landings of D-Day. We can see the landingzones of Arromanches, still with parts of the artificial harbor in place that the allied forces managed to build in a few days. We have visited the Musee du Debarquement, where they have some excellent displays of how the harbor looked and operated during the landings, and Arromanches 360, where original images en movies are composed in a 360 degrees setting,. Also included are impressions of the Musee America Gold beach at Ver-Sur-Mer, an overview of the beaches and a visit at the Canadian War Cemetery at Cintheaux, where 2958 Canadian soldiers are buried. Finally an impression of the Musee Memorial de la Bataille de Normandie at Bayeux, here you will find a lot of heavy equipment, weapons, uniforms and historical pictures and object.

Gold Beach - Les plages du débarquement #4

Faire la jonction avec Omaha

Le secteur de Gold s’étend sur 7,5km, entre les deux communes de Ver-sur-Mer, à l’Est, et de Saint-Côme-de-Fresné, à l’Ouest ; précisément entre les hameaux de « La rivière » et du Hamel. Cette bande de littoral est défendue par de nombreux bunkers, canons et mitrailleuses, particulièrement devant « Le Hamel », où les Britanniques rencontrent une très forte résistance. Les combats durent toute la journée dans ce secteur, fermant la porte d’Arromanches et de Port-en-Bessin, objectifs de la 50e division, le Jour J.

Dans cet épisode, Ouest-France vous propose de revivre l'assaut sur Gold Beach. Retrouvez également l'histoire des autres plages : Sword, Juno, Utah et Omaha. Chacune a connu un débarquement radicalement, et les hommes qui les ont foulées, dans l’un ou l’autre des camps, ont vécu cinq journées bien différentes.

Ver sur Mer (14)

Ver-sur-Mer est une commune française, située dans le département du Calvados en région Normandie, C'est une station balnéaire sur la Manche. La commune est à 25 km de Caen et à 16 km de Bayeux, sur la Côte de Nacre. Avec Graye-sur-mer et Meuvaines, Ver-sur-mer abrite de vastes marais arrière-littoraux, protégés de la mer par un mince cordon dunaire et s'appuyant contre la falaise morte d'âge jurassique. Les eaux douces piégées à l'arrière des dunes ont favorisé la création d'une mosaïque de milieux à la productivité biologique élevée. Ces marais sont inscrits sur la liste des sites Natura 2000 de l'inventaire national du patrimoine naturel . La commune est traversée par un fleuve côtier la Provence. Ce cours d'eau alimentait de nombreux moulins aujourd'hui disparus.
Lors de la bataille de Normandie, Ver-sur-Mer se situait à la jonction entre Gold Beach où débarquèrent les troupes britanniques et Juno Beach où débarquèrent les troupes canadiennes. La bataille coûta à la commune neuf victimes civiles, 165 maisons rasées, et 167 partiellement détruites. L'Amiral Ramsay qui commandait le débarquement établit et maintint son état major dans une maison près de la pharmacie.

Mais elle, l’a-t-elle réellement entendu ?

SWORD BEACH (Normandía)

¡Alerta, guripas!

Hoy visitamos SWORD BEACH, la playa del desembarco de NORMANDÍA situada en la parte más al este de todo el plan aliado. Este nombre en clave incluía 15 km de costa entre los municipios de Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer y Ouistreham. La toma de la playa fue responsabilidad de la 3ª división de infantería británica, seguida por varias unidades de Comando.

Tendremos tiempo de conocer los objetivos de los aliados en Sword (con sus éxitos pero también con sus fracasos), daremos algún dato anecdótico para los más cinéfilos ????y también hablaremos sobre el único contraataque con blindados que los alemanes lanzaron en todo el Día-D.

Highlights of the Normandy landings, 6th June 1944

The D Day landings on the beaches of Operation Overlord on 6 June 1944 have left such a legacy of fascinating historical sites to visit all along the Normandy coastline that there is never enough time to see everything. However, if you have a day to spare and would like to visit the Normandy Beaches, our guided tour of the highlights of the D Day landings will be ideal. Although there is a lot to see, rest assured we will not rush you from site to site offering only brief, superficial explanations of the significance of each location. Guided tours for individuals or small groups

D Day Tours Normandy Three Day Signature Tour

A comprehensive and detailed three-day tour of Operation Overlord

Our three-day tour combines a quality guided tour of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy with a relaxing short holiday. Our friendly personal service, luxury accommodation and delicious home cooked cuisine make this an ideal tour for small parties of up to six people who want to really find out more about what happened in the early hours and days of Operation Overlord.

DAY 1

Pegasus Bridge

The famous bridge across the Orne Canal at Benouville captured by a daring glider assault in the early hours of D-Day. We follow a visit to the bridge by taking coffee at The Café Gondree before visiting the Memorial Pegasus Museum.

The Merville Battery

The silencing of the German battery at Merville in an improvised attack by an ad-hoc force of paratroopers from 9th Battalion, The Parachute Regiment is a story of outstanding courage and leadership.

Ranville Cemetery

The reality of war and conflict should never be forgotten. It is always very humbling to visit a war cemetery where we pay our respects to the young men who lost their lives in war.

DAY 2

Sword Beach

The landing of British 3rd Infantry Division at La Breche in the face of stubborn resistance from Strongpoint 'Cod.'

Hillman Fortress

The British advance on Caen was significantly delayed by this well-disguised and strongly defended underground complex.

Juno Beach

The Canadian landing at Bernieres-sur-Mer. The original sea wall, concrete bunkers, machine gun and mortar emplacements which inflicted heavy casualties on The Queens Own Rifles of Canada as they came ashore still remain.

Gold Beach

Sgt Major Stanley Hollis, D Company, The Green Howards, was the only British & Commonwealth Soldier to win the Victoria Cross on D-Day. Hollis landed with 50th Infantry Division on King Sector of Gold Beach at Ver-sur-Mer.

Arromanches

'The story of the Mulberry harbours must rank among the most remarkable to emerge from the Second World War. In terms of engineering achievement it is surely one of the greatest of all time.'

DAY 3

Omaha Beach

It was at Omaha Beach that the Allies found the strongest German defences on D-Day, where they took their heaviest casualties and where they came closest to defeat.

St Mere Eglise

The strategically important market town stands on the main highway to Cherbourg. It was a key objective for U.S. 82nd Airborne Division. The museum at St Mere Eglise is a corner stone in understanding the role of U.S. Airborne forces during the Battle of Normandy.

Brecourt Manor

Following the success of the T.V. Drama 'Band of Brothers', Brecourt Manor is a popular site to visit. We shall explain what really happened here.

Utah Beach

U.S. 4th Infantry Division landed on Utah Beach. Spearheading U.S. VII Corps drive to isolate the Cotentin peninsula and capture the important port of Cherbourg.

The Pointe du Hoc

Tasked with neutralising the German gun battery at the Point du Hoc, D, E and F companies of the U.S. 2nd Ranger Battalion under the command of Lt. Colonel James Rudder climbed the 100-foot high cliffs of the Pointe to accomplish their mission.

The U.S. National Cemetery and Memorial at Colleville-sur-Mer

'The sight of the brilliant white headstones, laid in immaculate lines and set against the dark greens of the surrounding trees is beautiful, moving and tragic'
