点评:We visited the Airborne Museum during the 80th anniversary of D-Day. It’s located directly across from the famous church where U.S. paratrooper John Steele of the 82nd Airborne became entangled on the steeple during the invasion.
The museum itself is impressive, made up of several large buildings connected by an outdoor walking path. The exhibits are thoughtfully designed to be immersive, and my teens especially loved this aspect. We were particularly struck by the C-47 building (the scale is incredible) and the Operation Neptune exhibit, which simulates the night flight into Normandy and the D-Day landings.
Located right in the heart of Sainte-Mère-Église, this is absolutely a must-visit!
Bonus tip: If you can plan your trip for the first week of June, the museum hosts an incredible re-enactment camp—Camp Geronimo which is walkable from the museum and free to enter. Weather permitting, you may also catch parachute demonstrations!
翻译:我们在诺曼底登陆80周年纪念日期间参观了空降博物馆。它正对着那座著名的教堂,美国第82空降师的伞兵约翰·斯蒂尔在入侵期间被困在教堂的尖塔上。
博物馆本身令人印象深刻,由几座大型建筑组成,并通过一条户外步道连接。展品经过精心设计,营造出身临其境的体验,我的孩子们尤其喜欢这一点。我们尤其对C-47运输机大楼(规模令人难以置信)和“海王星行动”展览印象深刻,该展览模拟了夜间飞往诺曼底和诺曼底登陆的场景。
博物馆位于圣梅尔埃格利斯的中心地带,绝对不容错过!
额外提示:如果您计划在六月的第一周出行,博物馆将举办一个精彩的重现营——杰罗尼莫营,从博物馆步行即可到达,而且免费入场。如果天气允许,您还可以观看跳伞表演!
