Here, on the old World War II bunker with a firing range overlooking the harbor basin, the first English units landed in 1944 during the liberation of Europe from the Nazis. Here is a memorial with wreaths in memory of those who died in the war.

German bunker above the port of Port-en-Bessin. Today a memorial to those who fell during the liberation by the Allies. The British troops landed on the beach and cliffs on this coast in 1944.
