A display for the 80th Anniversary of the D Day Landings 1944 at the museum until 22nd June.

Details for the Allied landings in Normandy started in Spring 1943 including the mapping of the coastline of France, completed by May 1944. Eisenhower made the decision that 6th June would be D Day and at midnight the massive invasion of Europe began.

We have a complete set of the maps on view in the museum.
