Battlefield Tour - Normandy (Pointe du Hoc & Omaha Beach)
The day started with a visit to a German War Cemetery and then Pointe du Hoc.
Most of the day was spent at Omaha beach. Where it all went so wrong... and you can see why when standing on the beach.
It finished in the American War Cemetery.
Pointe du Hoc -
After departing Pointe du Hoc, it was off to the Museum at Omaha beach.
And then the beach itself. Sobering.
