D-day and the battle of Normandy

This year is the 75TH anniversary of D-day and the battle of Normandy

NORMANDY, LAND OF LIBERTY. On 6 June 1944 and during the long summer that followed, men from all over the world came to fight in Normandy and re-establish freedom.

Normandy will bear the scars of this moment in history for ever and every year, remember and pay tribute to the veterans from America, Britain, Canada, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Norway, Poland and Australia, along with their brothers in arms, those many heroes who lost their lives here during that summer of 1944.

Normandy is truly an open history book. During the whole of the summer 2019, Normandy will celebrate the 75th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy with due splendor and emotion.

Rich and unprecedented programs of events will be put together to bring the memory of this tragic period of world history to life, all while emphasizing the spirit of hope. The anniversary will be commemorated with military parades, firework displays, airdrops, giant picnics, concerts and military camp re-enactments.

During the whole of the summer 2019, Normandy will celebrate the 75th anniversary of D-Day.
 

On 5 June 2019, the “Daks Over Normandy" event will follow into the footsteps of the Greatest Generation.

About 250 men and women will board an aircraft in the United Kingdom exactly like 75 years before, fly across the English Channel and to jump into the historic drop zones of Normandy.

They will be wearing Allied WWII style uniforms and will jump wearing military round parachutes. It will be an event which has no equal.

D-Day beaches and their hinterland are fascinating to explore at any time.
 

D-Day beaches and their hinterland are fascinating to explore at any time. The vastness of the landings and ensuing Battle of Normandy is matched by the dozens of museums, memorials and other sights that commemorate and explain them.

The sands themselves – still known by their D-Day code names of Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword – are atmospheric.

The American Cemetery and the Omaha Museum.
 

Each beach has its own museum. Juno’s and Utah’s are particularly gripping – and other fine museums throughout the region, with exhibits ranging from actual tanks, planes and landing craft to imaginatively presented archive footage.

The Caen Memorial perfectly sets the whole campaign in context, and the Overlord Museum at Colleville and the Battle of Normandy Museum at Bayeux detail the landings and battle.

There are thousands of war graves in þnormandy.
 

Most evocative of all are the thousands of war graves. White marble slabs at the British and Commonwealth cemetery at Bayeux, grim granite at the German cemetery at La Cambe, and bright, white crosses at the American cemetery at Colleville, overlooking Omaha Beach.

The markers look identical. The men they mark were not.
