    These puppets were dropped on parachutes and were intended to simulate airborne operations and irritate the German Wehrmacht. Rupert was a somewhat derogatory name given to "stiff" British officers by Scottish soldiers.

      On June 6, 2007, exactly 63 years after D-Day, the ABMC opened the visitor center. Among the more than 3,000 people in attendance was U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.
      The visitor center offers a comprehensive overview of the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944, and the role of American troops in D-Day. Several exhibition rooms feature historical exhibits, photographs, documents, and maps, among other things, illustrating the course of the invasion, troop movements, soldiers' equipment, and the strategic challenges.
