About Utah Beach
Utah Beach was the westernmost of the five Normandy landing beaches during D-Day on June 6, 1944. American forces from the 4th Infantry Division landed here at 6:30 AM, supported by 14,000 paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions who had dropped inland overnight. Strong currents pushed the landing craft 1,800 meters east of the planned zone, accidentally placing troops at a less-defended sector which contributed to lower casualties than expected.

The museum's founder, Michel de Vallavieille, was accidentally wounded by American fire on D-Day as a teenager. He was treated by American military nurses who had just landed on the beach. Despite his injury, he held no resentment and dedicated his life to honoring the Allied liberators, opening the museum on the 18th anniversary of D-Day in 1962.
