by , KilroyTrip

Memorial retracing the history of the 6th Airborne Division and the capture of the Bénouvilleand Ranville bridges on the night of June 5-6, 1944. Museum very well documented and with a very fine collection including the legendary and authentic Pegasus Bridge but also a 1-scale reproduction of a Horsa glider. Numerous period documents and objects, including Bill Millin's famous bagpipes . The guided tour (included in the ticket price) is recommended as it provides elements and anecdotes told to the guide by visiting veterans.
