About

A state‑of‑the‑art 3D cinema presents the Battle of Carentan in vivid detail, while the historic Dead Man’s Corner museum offers a unique perspective from the German side. Outside, the Airborne Wall and a collection of tanks, artillery and the famed 88‑mm German cannon provide a complete battlefield context.
