Information Center
Since the mid-1990s, there has been an Information Center on the site to the Memory of the losses of Operation Overlord, when in summer 1944 more than 100.000 people died: American, British, German, French, Canadian, Poles and members of other nations. Also at least 14.000 French civilians died. Human fates and reconciliation are special themes. Visitors can also view a permanent exhibition about the German War Graves Commission and have access to a database to locate the graves of dead German military. An adjoint peace-garden with 1.200 maple-trees from gifts symbolizes that peace ought to grow.
