hit by Allied bombardments and the site of a very hard battle, we took the D515, which runs along the main navigable canal that leads from the city to the town of Ouistreham and the sea.&#13;\nFrom there a long coastal road runs through all the places where Americans, English, Canadians landed to free France.<\/p>\n\n<p>The first thing that strikes you about those beaches in Normandy is the beauty of the places and the impression you get is that it seems impossible that such suggestive panoramas have seen the atrocities of war.<\/p>\n\n<p>I had carefully planned my itinerary of visits and I knew that the beaches of Omaha and Utah had seen the landing of US troops, while those of Sword, Juno and Gold had been assigned to the landing of British and Canadian troops.&#13;\nSeeing them nowadays, crowded with tourists in search of relaxation, totally contrasts with the idea of imagining them as the site of assaults and fights to the death, but that was their story.<\/p>\n\n<h2

inaccessible to any attack, were instead surprised by the assault of a commando of Rangers who had climbed the promontory with the help of ladders and ropes. With the elimination of the batteries at Pointe du Hoc, the Allied ships were able to approach the coast and thus begin the invasion. A battle only ended after three days and thanks to the contribution of the soldiers who had conquered the beach of Omaha.&#13;\nWe were fascinated by the signs that are still visible today such as the remains of the Nazi defensive positions and the many craters formed by the bombs.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Uthah Beach, Saint Mere Eglise e Cherbourg<\/h2>\n\n<p>Continuing northwards we leave the Calvados department to enter the Manche department.&#13;\nHere is the second beach where the Americans landed, Utah beach attacked with the aim of cutting the German forces in two to conquer the port of Cherbourg.<\/p>\n\n<p>Many were the parachuted soldiers in this area and arrived in Saint Mere Eglise the statue of the parachutist hanging from the church bell tower is famous.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dovevado.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Saint-mary-Eglise-paracadutista.jpg\"><img
