Through the eyes and personal stories of German and American soldiers, you will discover how these men lived that day on June 6, 1944. Travelling through the German trenches and fortifications, your guide will tell you how German soldiers reacted to the Allied landings and their impact on the early hours of D-Day on this beach, now known as "Bloody Omaha".
