Highlights
Follow in the footsteps of the 29th Infantry Division from Omaha Beach to their most important objective in the first phase of Operation Overlord: the crossroads town of Saint Lô.
Throughout the day (on route, as well as on location) you will learn about the various units of the 29th Division, their roles, objectives, battles, and achievements in the largest military operation in history.
The route follows all three regiments of the division, from the beach through the marshes and the dreaded hedgerow countryside.
