  • Enjoy our visitor's guide to the bunker sites, memorials, and buildings in the British Sword Beach D-Day landing area in Normandy.
    Located around the port town of Ouistreham and the area to the west, Sword was the landing site for thousands of British troop on June 6, 1944 and features many large gun casemates, shelters, observations posts and multiple machine gun positions - many of which can be visited today.
    In this video you'll get to see the landing beach sites as they are today, with our exclusive drone footage and walkthroughs of bunker sites, plus close-up views of a sneaky air-vent trick and a remarkable tank which is being restored ready for the 80th Anniversary of D-Day.
    More info on Sword Beach bunker sites, including site maps and directions so you can visit, can be found on our website - www.normandybunkers.com

    These brave heroes fought for England to be the multicultural paradise it is today. Sadiq Khan is very grateful.

    What beats me, having first visited in 72, then on mbikes in 82, 5, then again in 93, 6 and 9 is where the hell these new museums manage to lay their hands upon all this original 'new' tackle from the time to display above and beyond all that already on display in the existing musee's....

      There’s still a lot that’s awaiting restoration in museum stores and private collections.

      Indeed, it's effective, on many of NBs vids, fits just right.

    W h e r e did the Churchill come from, was it a woods find, I can't believe it's an off shore recovery, ¿?

      Donation to the museum after completion of service then donated to the Hillman volunteers for restoration.
