Itinerario
Il monumento Pointe du Hoc Ranger della seconda guerra mondiale si trova su una scogliera otto miglia a ovest del cimitero americano della Normandia, che si affaccia sulla spiaggia di Omaha, in Francia. Fu eretto dai francesi per onorare elementi del secondo battaglione americano Ranger sotto il comando del tenente colonnello James E. Rudder. Durante l'assalto americano di Omaha e delle spiagge dello Utah il 6 giugno 1944, questi ranger dell'esercito americano scalarono le scogliere di 100 piedi e sequestrarono i pezzi di artiglieria tedeschi che avrebbero potuto sparare sulle truppe da sbarco americane a Omaha e sulle spiagge dello Utah. Con un alto costo della vita, si difesero con successo contro determinati contrattacchi tedeschi.
Le spiagge di Omaha erano una vera trappola per le truppe della 1a e 29a divisione di fanteria. Faremo una o due soste a Omaha Beach e capiremo gli sbarchi delle truppe americane il 6 giugno 1944. A seconda delle circostanze, la fermata può essere a Vierville S/Mer, St Laurent S/Mer o Colleville S/Mer. Una o due fermate a Omaha Beach. Si prega di indicare in un messaggio se si ha una preferenza.
Il sito del cimitero, all'estremità nord della sua strada di accesso di mezzo miglio, copre 172,5 acri e contiene le tombe di oltre 9.380 dei nostri militari morti, la maggior parte dei quali persero la vita durante gli sbarchi del D-Day e le successive operazioni. Sulle mura dei dispersi, in un giardino semicircolare sul lato est del memoriale, sono iscritti 1.557 nomi.

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!!
