The Invasion Of Normandy
The Day That Changed Everything

D-Day is a 160-page, fully illustrated book created for visitors to Normandy who want to understand the events of that day, beach by beach, site by site, and connect the history to the places that can still be visited today.
The book combines clear historical explanation with maps, images, and practical on-site orientation.
The Book Includes:
- Clear accounts of what happened on each landing beach
- An explanation of Allied planning, preparation, and training
- 6–10 detailed maps explaining movements and decisions
- Rich photography and illustrations throughout
- Practical information on war cemetries, memorial sites, and museum across Normandy
Museums are graded on a three-level scale to help visitors choose what is most worth seeing, depending on time and interest.
