Since I am very interested in the history of WWII, especially in the events on D-Day 6 June 1944, I made my third tour to the Invasion Beaches in Normandy, France. The first tour was in 1994. This tour was organized by a travel agency. It was a tour along all Invasion Beaches: Juno, Gold, Sword where the British and Canadian forces landed. Utah and Omaha in the American sector.

It was so much interesting that I promised myself to return to Normandy individual. My second tour was in September 1999 to Juno, Gold and Sword. There were a lot of museums and memorials.

On this website you may find the impression of my third tour to the invasion beaches in Normandy 14-17 June 2001. I went to the American sector: Omaha beach and Utah beach. I was on the American cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer and in the Omaha Memorial Museum. I looked on Omaha Beach remembering the thousand of GI's who died on that beach known as Bloody Omaha. On Utah Beach I visited the Landing museum Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, saw milestone 00 at La Madeleine and remains on the beach of the Atlantic Wall. In Sainte-Mère-Eglise I saw the church with private John Steele hanging in the tower, that remembers of his unfortunately landing in that tower after his dropping on June 6th, 194. and I was in museum of Airborne Troops on the south of the town square in Saint-Mère-Eglise.
