TOUR OPERATORS:
The Maisy Battery site is huge and offers a fantastic new venue for your regular clients to enhance their understanding of the Omaha and Utah Beach defenses, while also offering you the chance to introduce new clients to 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 took Maisy Battery in an intense 5 hour assault. Much new evidence has come to light over recent years in France, Germany and Washington proving Maisy was one of the biggest and most heavily defended gun batteries along the whole invasion coast. Coupled with nearly 2 miles of original German trenches, tunnels, bunkers and defensive positions, it is a quite unique experience for visitors both young and old.
Maisy Battery is not just a gun battery or a single bunker complex: it is a series of many defensive positions interdependent on each other for defense and survival.
Having been buried for over 60 years, it is the most raw, untouched and authentic site in all of Normandy, which adds to the immersive experience.
Highlights:
- walk the same trenches (widened for public access) the US Rangers fought over on the 9th of June 1944
- enter and explore 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
The Germans built Maisy below ground to hide it and it is still here - untouched 60+ years later.
Your clients will be fascinated by a visit and the immersion into living history.
