On this tour, I'll start by contextualizing both the Allied & German perspectives in regards to the town of Bayeux, an area where some of the WWII landings took place. Let's tour the beautiful town of Rainville, which hosts the Pegasus Memorial. We'll visit the Pegasus bridge, Église Saint Marcel church with its stained glass windows & the Cimetièire (cemetery) de Rainville. Rainville saw the landing of 6 gliders from WWII, this being widely considered the 1st action taken on D-Day. Visit the beautiful Sword Beach, which is now very touristic and filled with cafes all along, but it once was the landing sector of the British 3rd Division, as well as the location of the German Headquarters, which we will visit. The German's once endured an 8 hour battle to suppress this site. Here I'll also describe their biggest counterattack on D-Day, done by the 21st Panzer division.
