Thank you DW! My grandfather landed at Utah Beach, 7th Army Unit, field artillery. I found this out posthumously, because grandpa only spoke about the war once.
-
It was a very moving trip through history.
-
❤ How this balanced feature has DW's Mr. Lukas Stege and his team combine both the informative and serious D-Day topic in Normandy and the light touristy Bayeux activities.
-
Amazing how far we've come, thank you DW 🇩🇪🇺🇲
-
One of the most somber places to visit in the world. My Uncle landed at Utah and fortunately made it back home.
-
This report bears testimony to how far german people have come forward in civil liberty and press freedom. My respect for the German people has touched a new height.
-
I highly recommend any of you to visit D-Day landing beaches and sites at least once in your life time. It’s very moving and emotional visit for me. Though those places are beautiful today, the history of these places were very sad and eerie. The cemeteries of the Allies and Germans are very worth your visit too. I spent a whole week in Normady region. A truly once-in-a-life-time trip.

I can say Call of Duty WW2 did an amazing job recreating the landings in the cutscenes. All the location, boats look identical. Thanks for this informative video.
-
I traveled to the beach in Calais in 2022 and saw the bunkers and a lot of the war sites.
-
The preparation for D-Day was most secret and very effective - reminds me of the 1944 movie set in the town of Chillingbourne. 🎥🎥🎥
-
A really good vlog many thanks for posting
-
Hopefully i can visit in September, less crowds
-
Thank You for posting this experience. People like myself who cannot travel get the opportunity to see this very special event.❤ Cheers

Frere Jacques is a rhyme I grew up with in the USA. I visited Bayeux in 2024 before 80th Anniversary. The lady visiting from Texas USA 🇺🇸 - I felt quiet, mindful and overwhelmed seeing late afternoon tide, sun and absolutely no one on the beach that day.
-
Another video in which the British and Canadian contribution is marginal at best, yet they were a large majority of the troops on D-Day.

Greetings Lukas. Can’t recall if I have ever written a comment previously. I’ve followed your presentations for some time now, love all your work. Thank you. In regards the D-Day beaches, I have on four separate occasions visited the beaches and the memorial sites. Each time is more special than the last. Perhaps you had chance to visit the German cemetery as well? Even though my origins are in Central Europe, D-Day has always resonated strongest for me.
-
The government and people of France made this a landmark and historical sites of D-Day on Normandy and world war II monument for allied soldiers who fought and died for freedom and liberty.
-
Hello from California! Your video has inspired me to plan for 2025.
-
It was many years ago I visited the Beach with the artificial Mulberry Harbor, and the swimming Sherman tanks, set to sail far too far out, so most actually sank during the sailing in to the beach! I didn't manage to visit the Germans at La Campe, with the famous Tank Commander: Michael Wittmanns grave, which is always filled with flowers.

very cool video
