3 Beaches Of D Day
3 Beaches Of D Day. They were the landing places for the Allied invasion of western Europe during World War II. For too long, the narrative of D-Day and the battle for Normandy has focused on the fighting on land, whereas it needs to be.
In the military, D-Day is the day on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. The five D-Day beaches where landings of the Invasion of Normandy occurred were Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword Beaches. Here are some of my favorite experiences.
The D-Day Beaches are in the Calvados and Manche departments of Normandy, France.
I travel with a History teacher (my wife) but the local guides know some much more detail, of the history, of the participants, of the local color.
Even on those beaches, no two experiences were the same. image captionD-Day on Omaha beach in Normandy. It's hard to believe this was the site of a major battle I recently was able to spend two days in the Utah Beach area, and it was a dream come true for me. Although it's possible to visit some of the main landing beaches on a day trip from Paris, if you want to explore the coast and its World War II history.
