The Plage des Braves ("Beach of the Brave") lies directly in front of the Normandy American Cemetery and is the part of Omaha Beach where American troops landed on D-Day on June 6, 1944. The beach now stands as a silent memorial to the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought here, suffering heavy losses, to end the German occupation. At the edge of the beach stands the Plage des Braves Memorial, a simple but impressive monument commemorating the valor of American soldiers. It is estimated that between 2,000 and 2,500 American soldiers died in the Omaha Beach landings. This number includes those who died directly during the landings and in the immediate fighting around the beach.
