Memorial dedicated to the soldiers of the British Airborne Division, featuring a collection of authentic objects and documents.

Come and relive the dawn of June 6, 1944 at the Pegasus Memorial. An impressive collection of authentic objects and documents dedicated to the 11,000 soldiers of the British 6th Airborne Division, dropped to secure the eastern flank of the Allied landing zone. Testimonials in the visitors’ book add to the collective memory, like this moving one: "I didn’t know my father was a hero. I found out today". In the park, the real Pegasus Bridge and the replica Horsa glider arouse other emotions.

Aber 100%. Wenn man sieht welcher Einsatz durch Britische Soldaten dort stattgefunden hat und sie ihr junges Leben für unsere Zukunft gegeben haben...kann man sich bei allen bedanken, dass man heute nicht stramm stehen muss und den Arm zum Gruß erheben. Es ist sehr Traurig aber war. Ein Dank, allen gefallenen Alliierten Soldaten für ihre Aufopferung.

Sehr interessantes Museum über die britische Eroberung der Pegasus Brücke. Auch als Deutsche fühlten wir uns in dem Museum willkommen. Dieses und alle weiteren Museen in der Normandie sollten uns alle immer wieder daran erinnern, was für ein Geschenk die europäische Union ist. Ich bin froh und dankbar in diesem Europa leben zu dürfen.

Beau morceau d'histoire, relatant l'action héroïque de la 6e Division Aéroportée Britannique, qui permis par son action, entre autre chose, la libération de Caen lors du débarquement.
A voir absolument si vous êtes à proximité de Deauville, Trouville, Cabourg, Ouistreham... ????????????????????????
