Omaha Beach, France Here we will see many WN’s - (wiederstandnest- meaning German weapons strong point emplacements) from Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes to Vierville.We will visit some of these strong points, which were the better-defended German Positions along Omaha. We will stop at WN 62 and WN 65 in Fox Green and Easy Red sectors of the American landing, and WN 73 in Dog Green at Vierville. This beach assault was a difficult assignment, given to US V Corps (General Gerow) whose Force O was made up of the 1st Infantry Division, 29th Infantry Division, the Rangers and several attached Units. 40 minutes

Our guide was Steve and he was fabulous. Very funny sense of humor but when we got to the beaches he was all business. He painted an incredible picture with all his knowledge and it felt very solemn and moving. As we drove thru the towns he explained how these areas were affected during WW2. Amazing amount of facts. It was a wonderful experience. Also, he was a careful driver. Highly recommend!

We could not have been more pleased with our half-day Overlord tour with Ben. His knowledge of D-Day and WW II in general was astounding, and he was a pleasure to be with. Highly recommended by this WW II fan. Paul M

The tour was the highlight of our visit to France. Our tour guide, Steve, was friendly, knowledgeable and quite frankly, everything you want in a tour guide. This is a must see activity and I definitely recommend OverlordTour. If you are coming in by train from Paris, pack some snacks (or one of those great French sandwiches) for the trip back and perhaps a bottle of wine/water. The train ride back is about 2.5 hours.
