This is at Colleville sur Mer and no, there is no fee other than your travel expenses. You can do a google search for 1st Infantry division monument at Colleville or Saint Laurent sur Mer Normandy at Omaha Beach. Enjoy your travels.

What is the city exactly called where this is? And also... Is this territory only accessable by payment? Or do they allow you to walk around for free?

is is where the "beast of omaha beach" was?

[ObltKG4]

@3BALL4 Yes, this is where Heinrich Severloh was posted.

[griffonsa]

@ObltKG4 I cant believe they let this man go after only one or two years of imprisonment.. IF he is really guilty of the death of so many soldiers, they should have executed him.

I do believe 1500-2500 kills is exagerated...

Still... I am sure he could have easily killed a hundred...

Like turkey shooting!

RIP to the fallen....

War is hell...

[Foxtrot262]

@griffonsa ??? Are you serious ??? They would have executed him possibly if they found out right there on Omaha beach when he surrendered but I hope you don't mean after the fact or war.

When a thousand ppl come to kill you, you don't ask questions, u just fight for ur life.

And they figure he was responsible for 1500 casulties not deaths

[clintdelicious]

@griffonsa He shouldnt have been imprisoned at all, its a war! Should our soldiers have been jailed who did the same as that man?

[flyersphan111]

@ObltKG4 Where exactly was he posted?

My great uncle, Arthur Auno, from South Range Michigan, was a squad leader for Easy Red Sector. He was a survivor of this campaign. He has sinced passed but he rarely talked about what happened. I heard about this through mutual accquaintences. He was a true hero. RIP uncle Art.
