Utah Beach

The Utah beach museum is built on three German bunkers that formed part of the Resistance Nest, known as WN5.

The museum tells the story of the D-day landings, which took place just in front of the museum, and a good view and understanding of landings can be had with the help of models a dioramas. On show here are a two DUKS and a German Goliath. This is a miniature tank that formed part of the defence in this sector.

Also on display are beach obstacles, and a landing craft infantry.

In 2005 a German flame thrower was discovered on the beach and is now on display.

The museum has pans for an extension to the museum to house the recently restored Alligator and the Higgins Boat.
