3rd
Floor East - Fortress Europe through The Armada
Strikes
Climb the stairs and you will understand what
the Allies will face in Normandy - Hitler's
Atlantic Wall. Explore these deadly fortifications
awaiting the Allies, view the weapons, uniforms,
and gear of the Germans and Americans, and
meet the commanders of Operation Overlord.
Help Eisenhower make his Decision to Go and
crash into Normandy in an Allied glider. Count
to 5,000 as you marvel at the variety of ships
used in this largest and most complex amphibious
assault in history. |
3rd
Floor West - Omaha Beach through The Nazis
Quit
Step off your Higgins boat into the surf at
Omaha Beach. The artifacts and stories of
individual soldiers here put a human face
on the most decisive day of WWII - June 6,
1944. Hear from the men who fought for Utah,
Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword Beaches. Climb
Pointe-du-Hoc with the Rangers. Fight your
way through the Hedgerow country. And finally,
take a moment to contemplate the ultimate
cost of victory. |
