A weekend in Normandy, France (Battle fields tour)
In this video, I'm off to Normandy, France to visit some of the key locations of the D-Day invasion on 6th June 1944.
This is a trip organised by Old Swinford Hospital School's Combined Cadet Force. Personally, I've been in the CCF since 2012. I am currently at the rank of sergeant in the RAF section. Throughout my time in the CCF, I have learnt and achieved more than I thought I ever would, it's taught me to fly, survival skills and also some skill at arms!

Bayeux, Normandy & The D Day Landings Europe 2017 No 13
Description
We start this video in Bayeux France on the 25th Nov 2017 with a visit to the Bayeux Cathedral, then driving out towards the Normandy coast to take in some of the history & sights of the WW2 D-Day landings. Our first stop was La Cambe which is a Second World War German military war grave cemetery, located close to the American landing beach of Omaha, and 25.5 km north east of Bayeux. It is the largest German war cemetery in Normandy and contains over 21,200 German military personnel. Driving down to the coast we arrive in Grandcamp-Maisy which is a coastal village harbour & La Pointe du Hoc which is a promontory with a 100-foot cliff overlooking the English Channel. Halfway between Omaha Beach and Utah Beach, the Pointe du Hoc dominates the sea from its vertical cliff.
With this video I recommend that you pause at the different dedication signs to learn more of the history of this area.
Then a visit to Omaha, commonly known as Omaha Beach, it was the code name for one of the five sectors of the Allied invasion of German-occupied France
We then drive to the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer, Normandy, that honours the American soldiers. Total burials: 9,388 Commemorated: 1,557 Unknowns: 307.
It was quite a moving day as we explored this area with so many lives lost. Here, in the midst of the D-Day beaches, you still get a strong sense of the huge effort involved in the Allied invasion to liberate France and the rest of Western Europe
The next day we set off to Mulberry artificial harbour near Arromanches, During the Normandy Invasion of World War II, it was part of the Gold Beach landing area and was taken by the British 50th Division on D-Day (June 6, 1944).

Hi, I am Eileen from Belgium, welcome to my channel! I started this channel some years ago, to make videos for friends and family. But I liked it so much that I started to make more and more videos. I got inspired by some of my favorite YouTube channels such as Travellight, Kara & Nate, The Way Away, Flying the Nest and the Bucketlist Family.
I travel as much as possible in and outside of Europe. And I also accepted the challenge to visit all Belgian Municipalities.
Normandy: War-Torn Yet Full of Life
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide | In peaceful Normandy, we explore the half-timbered charm of Rouen, reflect on Monet's lily ponds in Giverny, peek in on local artisans, and set up an easel at Honfleur's harbor. We venture into composer Eric Satie's eccentric world and feast on the finest of Normandy cuisine. After pondering sacrifice and celebrating freedom on the D-Day beaches, we hike with pilgrims to the enchanted island abbey of Mont St-Michel.

D Day Landing Beaches One-Day Tour
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'
