The museum of the Battle of Normandy is one of those museums where you stay either 20 minutes or three hours. There is only one big room, divided into British, Canadian and American sectors. It displays dozens of uniforms, weapons, letters, pictures, equipment of the perfect little soldier and hundreds of paperclips. If you just read one out of ten articles, you'll stay there for the day. My favorite was one from a British newspaper. The two-inch letter title said something like We Have Landed while a small publicity at the bottom of the paper encouraged the reader to drink Guinness to make his life better! Not even D-Day can make people forget beer.
A 30 minute movie made of archives shows the battle of Normandy from the landing to the capture of Caen. Just before the exit, you can see the remains of spitfire that crashed in a field and be amazed by the luck of the Canadian pilot who survived such a crash.
