Private Normandy Tour DDay The Strategic Overview

Visit the site of the famous bridge of Benouville, 'Pegasus Bridge' as the latter came to be called, which was the first British objective to be captured on D-Day. Major John Howard's six platoons from D Company the 'Ox and Bucks' Light Infantry supported by Royal Engineer detachments captured the bridges after a 15- minute short skirmish. Total surprise was achieved.

Juno or Juno Beach was one of five beaches of the Allied invasion of German-occupied France in the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944 during the Second World War. The beach spanned from Courseulles, a village just east of the British beach Gold, to Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer, and just west of the British beach Sword.

Mulberry "B" (British) was the harbour assembled on Gold Beach at Arromanches for use by the British and Canadian invasion forces. The harbour was decommissioned six months after D-Day as Allied forces were able to use the recently captured port of Antwerp to offload troops and supplies.

Omaha Beach was part of the invasion area assigned to the U.S. First Army, under Lieutenant General Omar Bradley. The assault sectors at Omaha were code-named (from west to east) Charlie, Dog (consisting of Green, White, and Red sections), Easy (Green and Red sections), and Fox (Green and Red sections).

Located on the coast, between Arromanches and Grandcamp Maisy, this vast 70 hectare site overlooks Omaha beach. It reunites the graves of 9,388 soldiers fallen in combat.
