Rejseplan
Pointe du Hoc Ranger-monumentet fra Anden Verdenskrig er placeret på en klippe otte miles vest for Normandy American Cemetery, som har udsigt over Omaha Beach, Frankrig. Den blev rejst af franskmændene for at ære elementer fra den amerikanske anden rangerbataljon under kommando af oberstløjtnant James E. Rudder. Under det amerikanske angreb på Omaha og Utahs strande den 6. juni 1944 nåede disse U.S. Army Rangers de 100 fods klipper og beslaglagde de tyske artilleristykker, der kunne have beskudt de amerikanske landgangstropper ved Omaha og Utahs strande. Til høje livsomkostninger forsvarede de sig med succes mod beslutsomme tyske modangreb.
Strandene i Omaha var en rigtig fælde for tropperne fra 1. og 29. infanteridivision. Vi vil have et eller to stop på Omaha Beach og forstå de amerikanske troppers landinger den 6. juni 1944. Afhængigt af omstændighederne kan stoppet være i Vierville S/Mer, St Laurent S/Mer eller Colleville S/Mer. Et eller to stop ved Omaha Beach. Angiv venligst i en besked, hvis du har en præference.
Kirkegårdspladsen, i den nordlige ende af dens en halv kilometers adgangsvej, dækker 172,5 acres og indeholder gravene for mere end 9.380 af vores militære døde, hvoraf de fleste mistede livet i D-Day-landingen og de efterfølgende operationer. Paa De Forsvundnes Mure, i en halvcirkelformet Have paa Mindesmærkets østside, er indskrevet 1.557 Navne.

Our time with Anthony was nothing short of amazing. The logistics were well handled making the pickup, drop off and traveling in between flow seamlessly. The real highlight was Anthony and his amiable nature, rooted in American and French culture, and deep interest and knowledge of history, in this case of events around and during D-Day. He allowed us time to take in the surroundings and gravity of the locations, but provided detailed insights and overviews to grow our understanding of all of WWII and D-day. For those of us who entered with a decent understanding of WWII, he was able to answer all of our questions easily and with enthusiasm that would lead to deeper insights and motivate further discussion. The part of our group who were less familiar walked away with an awareness of how much encompassed those days and WWII, but also were able to take away key overviews and as such were not overwhelmed with a flood of facts. In addition to all the knowledge of D-Day that Anthony had, he also was a fountain of information on the history and culture of the local area and France as a whole.
My wife and I learned so much not only about the events related to D-Day but also about life in Normandy and France in general. Yves is an engaging storyteller and guide. His use of a large iPad displaying maps and old photos was very helpful in explaining the strategies, motivations, and unpredictable turn of events which changed history. Thank you, Yves! You were awesome!!
Yves is passionate and knowledgeable about the history with respect to the tour topics and beyond. He was genuine, kind and engaging (asking and encouraging questions).

Our guide, Yves, was incredible! His knowledge of historical facts and general local knowledge was well above and beyond what is expected. He was extremely courteous and thoughtful. The experience was a great balance of education, adventure and obviously, killer aesthetics! We highly recommend Yves.
Thank you so much for your kind comment ! I'm so glad you enjoyed your tour. Kind regards, Yves
Great experience to walk the grounds where the direction of the world changed. Experiencing Point du Hoc, Omaha beach and the cemetary were all incredible and so appreciative of the sacrifices made here
Yves Was such an educated, informative guide with maps and pictures and relics . He was so personable and lovely. His love for World War II and enthusiasm for history was inspiring.
