Travel Guide

Normandy, traces of D-day.
June 6, 2019: 75th anniversary of D-day in Normandy
Photo: La Cambe German War Cemetery. 21,222 German soldiers are buried here. It is a very different place to the American and Commonwealth cemeteries. The crosses here are made from grey schist and do not mark individuals graves. Instead, burial locations are marked by plaques on the ground.
