Along the D-day coast at Normandy there are at lot
of small memorial sites, statues, historical building and historical
places that are not a part of any museum, but they add to the
understanding of the magnitude of the D-day operation on the 6th of
June 1944. In this photo section you can find pictures from some of
these more "unknown" places.

A special Sherman DD tank is used as
a memorial. These tanks should have be able to swim ashore, but most
of them sank due to the bad weather on the morning of June the 6th
1944.
