About D-Day Experience
The D-Day Experience is a WWII museum complex located in Saint-Côme-du-Mont, between Utah Beach and Carentan. The site offers a dual perspective on the June 1944 events, presenting both American 101st Airborne Division and German Fallschirmjäger Regiment 6 viewpoints from the same battle. The highlight is an authentic 1943 C-47 Dakota aircraft—a veteran of the actual D-Day parachute operations—converted into a flight simulator that recreates the combat drop experience over Normandy.

The C-47 aircraft used in the flight simulator has a remarkable post-war history: after serving in the D-Day operations, it was purchased by British Royal Mail for postal deliveries. Decades later, Steven Spielberg acquired the same aircraft for filming the HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers," and it eventually found its permanent home at this museum.
