Utah Beach was the first beach to be stormed by the Allies on the morning of 6 June 1944. It was chosen to establish a beachhead in the Cotentin region in order to capture the town of Cherbourg and its deep water port.

At the end of the day, more than 23,000 American soldiers landed to fight a titanic battle and liberate France. The Utah Beach D-Day Museum preserves the memory of these men.
