About Utah Beach Landing Museum
The Utah Beach Landing Museum stands at the exact location where American forces landed on June 6, 1944, making it one of the most historically authentic D-Day sites in Normandy. Opened in 1962 as the first museum dedicated to the Normandy landings, it was built around German bunker WN5, which served as Lieutenant Arthur Jahnke's command post during the Atlantic Wall defenses. The 3,000 m² exhibition space presents 10 chronological sequences covering the German occupation, Allied strategy, and the events of D-Day.

Among the most moving artifacts is Sergeant Louis Havard's prayer book from the 4th Infantry Division. During combat in summer 1944, a bullet struck his chest but lodged in the book's pages instead of his heart. The prayer book saved his life and is now displayed as a testament to the extraordinary stories of survival from the battlefield.
