点评:We were guided by Eric for an extremely informative and revealing visit to the D Day Normandy beaches. He had suggested that 3 days would be needed for us to learn as much as possible about that momentous period of history. He was absolutely correct.
Under his guidance we explored the coastline visiting all the beaches from Utah to Sword. At each point we learnt, in graphic detail, about the action and the human stories linked to the specific areas.
He also took us to the British Normandy Memorial, still with the 1,475 Standing with Giants silhouettes filling the meadow between the memorial and the sea. They were about to be taken back to the UK following this year’s 80th commemoration ceremony but it was very moving. We visited the American War Cemetery. Pegasus Bridge and museum, St Mere Eglise and the Hillman Command post were also on the itinerary.
Eric, with his huge background knowledge was able to bring the history of the time to life for us. It was an excellent tour. We cannot recommend it too highly. Thank you and well done.
翻译:在 Eric 的带领下,我们参观了诺曼底登陆日海滩,收获颇丰。他建议我们需要三天时间才能尽可能多地了解这段重要的历史。他完全正确。
在他的带领下,我们探索了海岸线,参观了从犹他州到剑镇的所有海滩。在每个地方,我们都详细地了解了与特定区域相关的行动和人文故事。
他还带我们去了英国诺曼底纪念碑,纪念碑和大海之间的草地上仍然挂满了 1,475 幅《巨人站立》的剪影。今年 80 周年纪念仪式结束后,这些雕像即将被带回英国,但这次参观非常感人。我们参观了美国战争公墓。飞马桥和博物馆、圣梅尔教堂和希尔曼指挥所也在行程中。
Eric 凭借丰富的背景知识,为我们生动地讲述了当时的历史。这是一次非常棒的旅行。我们强烈推荐。谢谢你,做得好。
