The memorial is full of elements spread geographically around the Orne river. Glider landing sites, key battle locations etc., It is a wonderful tribute to those brave men who won this first victory in the liberation of Europe in the second world war, operation Overlord. There is a separate enclosed museum as well as the site itself.

Much is written about the troops that came ashore on the beaches. What is less written is the work of the paratroopers to take and secure the areas inland that would allow access to the main road system. Since much of the area between the beaches and the main roads was marshland, it was important that the roads that did connect were captured and held so that the huge number of troops and the massive amount of equipment that was needed for the march to Paris could be moved. If you are interested in the Airborne troops, this is really an important place. As a note, if you have time, there is a small church directly across the river that has a beautiful stained glass window honoring the troops.
