The D-Day Museum at Arromanches where we viewed the video from the Ministry of War.
There are still portions of the artificial harbor built by the allies to supply troops after the invasion of Normandy.
Pieces of the harbor foundation that are still sunken into the coastline.
A German gun bunker located 300 yards from the coastline miles from the site of the Allied invasion.
The German gun bunker was not destroyed during the war, but somehow remained in tact after the invasion. It was unearth many years after the war. Had it been found during the rebuilding of France after the war, it would likely have been melted down for its metal just as many others had been.
Were you aloud to go inside of the gun?
ReplyDeleteHow many more artifacts were there in the museum?
ReplyDeleteIs everything there still functional, like tanks and other automobiles? Not to mention the weaponry.
ReplyDeleteSome of them are functional, but many of them have been disarmed for safety.
DeleteWas there any parts of Normandy that was special from before D' day or was D' day the only thing that draws people there as an attraction?
ReplyDeleteProbably flags that represent the winnings of a more dominant region or country.
DeleteIt was a small region known for its orchards and beaches. It became an attraction for visitors after WWII because of the cemetery and the history of the D-Day invasion.
