WELL DUG IN These bunkers and gun batteries were built to last.	UNDERGROUD LIVING Now open as a museum it is well worth a visit to see how the Germans were able to live.

THE AMERICAN WAR CEMETERY AT OMAHA BEACH. A must see for any tour.	PEGASUS BRIDGE Some time needs to be spent at this location because of the history associated with this bridge.
