Activity itinerary

Sainte Mere Eglise

45m

The first French town liberated on D-Day. Your guide shares the storey of the 82nd and 101st Airborne's chaotic nighttime drop. See the church steeple where paratrooper John Steele famously hung for hours. Walk the main square where paratroopers landed amid German gunfire.

Utah Beach

35m

Stand on the sand where the 4th Infantry Division landed at 6:30 AM on June 6, 1944. Your guide explains how the 101st Airborne's successful capture of causeways and exits behind the beach was critical to the landing's success. View remaining German bunkers and coastal defences.

Manoir de Brecourt

50m

Stand on the exact field where Lieutenant Richard "Dick" Winters led 13 men from Easy Company in an assault against four German 105mm howitzers on June 6, 1944. This action, featured in Episode 2 of Band of Brothers, is taught at West Point as a textbook example of small-unit tactics. Your guide uses tactical maps and archival photos to walk clients through the assault position by position: Where Winters gave the order How each gun was neutralized Where Private John D. Halls was killed (first Easy Company casualty in Normandy)

Carentan

40m

The strategic crossroads town Easy Company fought to capture in brutal urban combat (Episode 3 "Carentan"). Walk the streets where soldiers went house-to-house. Your guide shows the bridge where Easy Company advanced under fire.

Omaha Beach

30m

Experience the sector where D-Day hung in the balance. Omaha Beach saw the fiercest fighting of June 6, 1944, with over 2,400 American casualties. While not part of Easy Company's specific sector, Omaha represents the ultimate sacrifice of the American forces in Normandy. Walk the sand where the 1st and 29th Infantry Divisions faced a hellish reception from German positions on the bluffs above. Your guide explains the tactical chaos, the heroism of individual soldiers who broke through, and why this beach nearly spelled disaster for the entire invasion. Visit remaining German bunkers and walk to the waterline to understand the impossible odds these men faced.

Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer

50m

Your guide leads you directly to the graves of seven Easy Company soldiers who rest here in honoured glory: • John D. Halls — Killed at Brecourt Manor, June 6, 1944 • Robert J. Van Klinken — Killed in Holland, October 5, 1944 • Donald Hoobler — Died of accidental gunshot wound, January 3, 1945 (Bastogne) • Alex Penkala Jr. — Killed by artillery, January 10, 1945 (Bastogne) • Eugene E. Jackson — Killed by artillery, January 10, 1945 (Bastogne) • Warren "Skip" Muck — Killed by artillery, January 10, 1945 (Bastogne) • Robert T. Smith — Killed in action during the war Your guide shares personal stories of each man—who they were, how they lived, how they died, and how their brothers in Easy Company remembered them. This is where the weight of the day settles in. Clients often experience profound emotional moments here. Time and space are given for quiet reflection.
