The harbour consists of 146 large thick cases of cement transported from England and absorbed to form a semicircular dike to which some afloat bridges were anchored. In the three months after to the D-Day from this harbour disembarked 2.5 million of men, 4 tons of equipment and 400000 vehicles. To appreciate completely the harbour I suggest to see it from the top of the hill.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
