About this experience
Step onto the very sands where history was made. A visit to the Utah Beach Landing Museum isn’t just a tour—it’s a journey back to D-Day. What sets this experience apart is its authenticity: located on the actual landing site, it features original military vehicles, rare artifacts, and a real B-26 bomber. With immersive exhibits and powerful personal stories, this museum brings you closer to the heroes of June 6, 1944. Book now for a moving, educational, and truly one-of-a-kind World War II experience in Normandy.
We will therefore be donating a replica of this small, key object from the Normandy landings in 1944 as a souvenir.
The clicker was used as a reconnaissance system for paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division deployed to the Cotentin Peninsula on the night of June 5-6, 1944. The code was one click followed by two clicks as a response.
