The Experience
The Normandy landing was an allied force invasion against Germany during World War II fought on a 50-mile stretch of French coastline. Using over 5,000 ships and 24,000 airborne troops, allied forces took control of the beachheads at Normandy which were broken up into 5 sectors: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. The term "D-Day" was used to mark the day of the actual landing (6 June 1944).
Picture yourself at these famous airborne and amphibious landings and get some rounds down range with the actual weapons used by allied forces while storming the beaches of Normandy.
