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'
