Normandy: Discover the Setting of D-Day in France

It was one of the most important events in World War II – and one of biggest military operations of all times: On June 6th 1944, thousands of Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy to fight back Hitler's army and liberate Europe from the Nazis. 80 years later, you can visit the old battlefields, like "Omaha Beach," memorials and museums in the French region. Lukas Stege takes you there and on a deep dive into history. 00:00 Intro 00:20 What happened on D-Day? 01:35 Map: Bayeux and the D-Day beaches 02:10 Jeep tour with ‪@overlordtour5096‬Thierry Bidault from www.overlordtour.com/ 03:30 Pointe du Hoc 05:06 Omaha Beach, resistance nest #60, German bunker 06:36 Omaha Beach, Omaha Beach Monument, Les Braves Memorial 09:03 Bayeux Cathedral, Old town, D-Day souvenirs 10:40 French cuisine 11:00 D-Day Experience Museum in Saint-Côme-du-Mont 13:47 La Cambe German war cemetery 14:11 Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, Colleville-sur-Mer 16:13 Utah Beach CREDITS: Report: Kerstin Schmidt, Lukas Stege Camera: Holm Weber Editing: Klaus Hellmig Supervising Editor: Christina Deicke ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to DW Travel    / dwtravel   Would you like to find out more about DW Travel? ▸Website: dw.com/travel ▸Facebook: facebook.com/dw.travel ▸Instagram: instagram.com/dw_travel DW Travel is showing you the captivating world of travel.
