For two hours, let yourself be guided along Omaha Beach, through the Easy Red and Fox Green sectors, notably starting from Wn 62, a German strongpoint of the Atlantic Wall. The personal stories of German soldiers give you the opportunity to discover the history of June 6, 1944, and the Normandy Landings from a different perspective. Your guide vividly recounts those fateful hours of D-Day amidst the German trenches and fortifications before heading to the beach. Once you reach the sands of Bloody Omaha, you will appreciate the scope of the mission awaiting the men of the 29th and 1st U.S. Infantry Divisions. Continuing this exploration of the battlefield, the tour continues to the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, where 9,387 men and women who fell during the Battle of Normandy are buried. From the creation of temporary cemeteries in the early hours of D-Day to the creation of the current necropolis, as you wander through the Memorial and the cemetery’s paths, you’ll understand the memorial impact of this site overlooking the beach. As you discover the personal stories of American soldiers, your visit invites you to a moment of reflection.
This private 2-hour tour, available with friends, family, or in a group, sheds light on the sacrifice of these men and women who came to liberate France, and more broadly, Europe, from Nazi Germany.
