Resplan
Andra världskriget Pointe du Hoc Ranger Monument ligger på en klippa åtta miles väster om Normandy American Cemetery, som har utsikt över Omaha Beach, Frankrike. Den restes av fransmännen för att hedra delar av den amerikanska andra rangerbataljonen under befäl av överstelöjtnant James E. Rudder. Under det amerikanska anfallet på Omaha och Utahs stränder den 6 juni 1944 tog dessa US Army Rangers de 100 fot långa klipporna och beslagtog de tyska artilleripjäserna som kunde ha skjutit mot de amerikanska landstigningstrupperna vid Omaha och Utahs stränder. Till en hög livskostnad försvarade de sig framgångsrikt mot bestämda tyska motangrepp.
Stränderna i Omaha var en riktig fälla för trupperna från 1:a och 29:e infanteridivisionerna. Vi kommer att ha ett eller två stopp på Omaha Beach och förstå de amerikanska truppernas landningar den 6 juni 1944. Beroende på omständigheterna kan stoppet vara i Vierville S/Mer, St Laurent S/Mer eller Colleville S/Mer. Ett eller två stopp vid Omaha Beach. Vänligen ange i ett meddelande om du har en preferens.
Kyrkogårdsplatsen, vid den norra änden av dess tillfartsväg, täcker 172,5 tunnland och innehåller gravarna för mer än 9 380 av våra militära döda, av vilka de flesta miste livet i D-dagens landningar och efterföljande operationer. På de saknades väggar, i en halvcirkelformad trädgård på östra sidan av minnesmärket, är inskrivna 1,557 namn.

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).
