MORE ABOUT THIS MAP

Colour Coded Indexes

This shows just one side of the map - the British and Canadian beaches. The other side of the map covers the American beaches.

Two maps fitted together give a complete picture of the entire coastline.

There are no other maps that give such clear detail and accurately position the memorials, museums, bunkers and cemeteries along the whole length of the landing beaches. What is more the indexes enable the reader/traveller to find particular memorials etc with ease and the colour coding makes it clear immediately what each lollipop represents.

The Image Above

Thus on the image above all the yellow dots are memorials, the blue one is a museum, the red/pink are bunkers and the green a Comite du Debarquement marker. The numbers allow the indexes which are coded in the same colours to be used to identify the exact nature of the points marked

. There are over 300 of them.

Battle Lines and Modern Roads

Overlaid onto the map, which shows the modern roads, are the essential battle lines of actions of June 6 1944. The gap through which the German 6th June counter attack reached the sea can be clearly seen even on the rough image above

The Guide Book

The map references are used throughout the guide book to guide the reader around the intineraries.
