Kieffer Commando Memorial (La Flamme), Ouistreham

Highlight • Monument

Kieffer Commando's Monument:
In a beautiful park on the coast is this monument of the No. 4 Commandos of Lt. Kieffer, who came ashore in the early morning of June 6, 1944 to neutralize the batteries of Ouistreham.
The monument is located on a German 644 bunker that was part of Stützpunkt 08 HKB Riva Bella. The Stützpunkt with 6 155mm guns served to defend the entrance to the river Orne and the canal.
The Regelbau 644 is a "Stand with 6-Schartenturm in A".
The stones in front of the monument bear the names of the fallen French commandos of June 6, 1944.

Pegasus Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Just after midnight on the night of June 5-6, the two bridges of Ranville-Bénouville were captured by the British 5th Parachute Brigade after a short battle. Pegasus was their emblem. A small part of France was liberated. Major Howard had won the Battle of Pegasus and those in need had a field for gliders to land on, a movable steel bridge, a house on the water's edge, and... the Gondrée family, who at 11 a.m. saw Lord Lovat (1911- 1995) and his 'Green Berets' arrive, to the sound of a bagpipe. Now café-museum Gondrée is a meeting point for veterans and tourists. (Michelin)
