Normandy veterans gather ahead of D Day tour
(3 Jun 2019) In a port near Dunkirk in France, 255 Normandy veterans posed for a group photo on the deck of the MV Boudicca, a specially-chartered ship hired with funds from The Royal British Legion and a grant from HM Treasury.
The ship transported the war veterans across the English channel to Dunkirk at the start of a 6-day trip, which will include stops at Normandy's beaches for the 75th anniversary of D-Day, on June 6.
The ship will accommodate the veterans for the duration of their visit to Normandy and is being provided to the veterans at no cost.
Key events will include an inauguration at the site of the Normandy Memorial Trust's British Normandy Memorial, and The Royal British Legion's services at Bayeux Cathedral and Bayeux Cemetery, before concluding with an evening of music and entertainment beside the beaches in Arromanches.
Throughout the commemorations, around 2,000 current serving personnel will offer support to veterans both in the UK and in France, while also taking part in various ceremonial events.

Die D - Day Invasion in der Normandie Teil 2
Zwischen 58 und 51 v. Chr. eroberte Iulius Cäsar die Region und nannte das Gebiet Lugdunensis secunda. Als erste Städte entstanden Constantia, Augusta und Rotomagnus. Gregor von Tours erwähnt für die 2. Hälfte des 5. Jahrhunderts die Niederlassung von Sachsen um Bayeux in der heutigen Normandie. 486/87 siegten die Franken unter dem Merowinger Chlodwig über den letzten gallo-römischen Heerführer Syagrius und gewannen die gallischen Gebiete nördlich der Loire. Chlodwig gründete in Rouen einen Bischofssitz. Im 7. und 8. Jahrhundert kam es zu Klostergründungen in Jumièges, St. Quen und Wandrille. 709 gründete der Bischof von Avranches das Kloster auf dem Mont-Saint-Michel. Im Jahre 841 wurde Rouen von den Normannen gebrandschatzt. Im Jahre 911 betraute Karl der Einfältige den Normannen Rollo mit dem Herzogtum.
D-Day in Colour 1944 World War II Documentary Normandy in Operation Overlord
The Normandy landings were the landing operations on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. Codenamed Operation Neptune and often referred to as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. The operation began the liberation of German-occupied France (and later western Europe) and laid the foundations of the Allied victory on the Western Front.
Planning for the operation began in 1943. In the months leading up to the invasion, the Allies conducted a substantial military deception, codenamed Operation Bodyguard, to mislead the Germans as to the date and location of the main Allied landings. The weather on D-Day was far from ideal, and the operation had to be delayed 24 hours; a further postponement would have meant a delay of at least two weeks, as the invasion planners had requirements for the phase of the moon, the tides, and the time of day that meant only a few days each month were deemed suitable. Adolf Hitler placed German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in command of German forces and of developing fortifications along the Atlantic Wall in anticipation of an Allied invasion.
The amphibious landings were preceded by extensive aerial and naval bombardment and an airborne assault—the landing of 24,000 American, British, and Canadian airborne troops shortly after midnight. Allied infantry and armoured divisions began landing on the coast of France at 06:30. The target 50-mile (80 km) stretch of the Normandy coast was divided into five sectors: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. Strong winds blew the landing craft east of their intended positions, particularly at Utah and Omaha. The men landed under heavy fire from gun emplacements overlooking the beaches, and the shore was mined and covered with obstacles such as wooden stakes, metal tripods, and barbed wire, making the work of the beach-clearing teams difficult and dangerous. Casualties were heaviest at Omaha, with its high cliffs. At Gold, Juno, and Sword, several fortified towns were cleared in house-to-house fighting, and two major gun emplacements at Gold were disabled using specialised tanks.
The Allies failed to achieve any of their goals on the first day. Carentan, St. Lô, and Bayeux remained in German hands, and Caen, a major objective, was not captured until 21 July. Only two of the beaches (Juno and Gold) were linked on the first day, and all five beachheads were not connected until 12 June; however, the operation gained a foothold that the Allies gradually expanded over the coming months. German casualties on D-Day have been estimated at 4,000 to 9,000 men. Allied casualties were documented for at least 10,000, with 4,414 confirmed dead. Museums, memorials, and war cemeteries in the area now host many visitors each year.

Militaria Shops of Normandy
This is just raw footage that i filmed while strolling through
various Militaria shops in Saint-Mere-Eglise, Saint Marie du
Mont, and Saint Com du Mont, Normandy.
The shops are just like museums but everything is for sale.
Unfortunately I did not get any of the names of the
shops....Most have French names which I didn't understand
any way.
Happy Treasure Hunting

#72 Playa de Omaha.
Omaha es el nombre en clave que se le dio a la playa de 8 kilómetros donde desembarcarían las tropas aliadas durante el 6 de junio de 1944. En la primera oleada murieron la mitad de los soldados tiñendo la arena de rojo. 72 años después del desembarco esto es lo que vi.

Bloody Normandy: Juno Beach and Beyond - Part 1
Part 1 of 5
Documentary Stories from the Second World War: Bloody Normany.
Juno or Juno Beach was one of five sectors of the Allied invasion of German-occupied France in the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944, during the Second World War. The sector spanned from Saint-Aubin, a village just east of the British Gold sector, to Courseulles, just west of the British Sword sector. The Juno landings were judged necessary to provide flanking support to the British drive on Caen from Sword, as well as to capture the German airfield at Carpiquet west of Caen. Taking Juno was the responsibility of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division and commandos of the Royal Marines, with support from Naval Force J, the Juno contingent of the invasion fleet, including the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). The beach was defended by two battalions of the German 716th Infantry Division, with elements of the 21st Panzer Division held in reserve near Caen.
The invasion plan called for two brigades of the 3rd Canadian Division to land in two subsectors—Mike and Nan—focusing on Courseulles, Bernières and Saint-Aubin. It was hoped that preliminary naval and air bombardment would soften up the beach defences and destroy coastal strongpoints. Close support on the beaches was to be provided by amphibious tanks of the 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade. Once the landing zones were secured, the plan called for the 9th Canadian Infantry Brigade to land reserve battalions and deploy inland, the Royal Marine commandos to establish contact with the British 3rd Infantry Division on Sword, and the 7th Canadian Infantry Brigade to link up with the British 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division on Gold. The 3rd Canadian Division's D-Day objectives were to capture Carpiquet Airfield and reach the Caen--Bayeux railway line by nightfall.
The landings initially encountered heavy resistance from the German 716th Division; the preliminary bombardment proved less effective than had been hoped, and rough weather forced the first wave to be delayed until 07:35. Several assault companies—notably those of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles and The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada—took heavy casualties in the opening minutes of the first wave. Strength of numbers, as well as coordinated fire support from artillery and armoured squadrons, cleared most of the coastal defences within two hours of landing. The reserves of the 7th and 8th brigades began deploying at 08:30 (along with the Royal Marines), while the 9th Brigade began its deployment at 11:40.
The subsequent push inland towards Carpiquet and the Caen--Bayeux railway line achieved mixed results. The sheer numbers of men and vehicles on the beaches created lengthy delays between the landing of the 9th Brigade and the beginning of substantive attacks to the south. The 7th Brigade encountered heavy initial opposition before pushing south and making contact with the 50th Infantry Division at Creully. The 8th Brigade encountered heavy resistance from a battalion of the 716th at Tailleville, while the 9th Brigade deployed towards Carpiquet early in the evening. Resistance in Saint-Aubin prevented the Royal Marines from establishing contact with the British 3rd Division on Sword. When all operations on the Anglo-Canadian front were ordered to halt at 21:00, only one unit had reached its D-Day objective, but the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division had succeeded in pushing farther inland than any other landing force on D-Day. -
