Tour Operators Maisy Battery has come in for a huge amount of media attention during the last year and it is not without good reason. The site is huge and offers a fantastic new venue for your regular customers to re-adjust their understanding of the Omaha and Utah Beach defences and also offers you the chance to talk to new customers about visiting this previously private and hidden site. The history of the Omaha and Utah sectors has now changed with Maisy Battery being at the heart of it. The US Rangers 'Lead the Way' off the beach at Omaha and Pointe du Hoc... then they took Battery Maisy in a 5 hour assault. So much new evidence has come to light over the last year in France, Germany and Washington that proves Maisy was one of the biggest and most heavily defended gun batteries along the whole invasion coast. Coupled with its near 2 miles of original German trenches, tunnels, bunkers and defensive positions it is a quite unique experience for visitors both young and old. They can walk down the same trenches the US Rangers fought over on the 9th of June 1944... entering all the buildings below ground where the Germans lived and worked during the 3 day Allied onslaught.... see the command building where the Rangers found over 4.2 million dollars worth of French Francs... the regional payroll for the German soldiers in the region. See where Rommel conducted meetings, see the damage to the hospital of a direct hit from Allied aircraft... the list of interesting points goes on and on. Maisy Battery is not just a gun battery or a single bunker complex... it is a series of many defensive positions inter-dependent on each other for survival and nowhere else in the region is there anything with such an 'untouched' original feel about it. Whether it is for a small party or a coach load of veterans we will do our best to tell your visitors some of the history of the site and make them welcome... along with some of the fantastic Ranger veterans tales of trench warfare - gun to gun shootouts and bunker to bunker battles. With the BBC Timewatch programme covering the site in some detail and other media attention continually - it will not be long before Maisy Battery becomes the place that your customers will be asking for you to go... dont be left behind - get it onto your itinerary this year.
