On May 2, 2019, The National WWII Museum will stream a live interactive journey into D-Day, the largest amphibious invasion in history and a turning point in World War II. Guided by student reporters, this program takes your students on a virtual journey to iconic sites in southern England and Normandy, France, in just one hour. Along the way, discover the lessons and legacies of Operation Overlord, the code name for the massive Allied invasion of Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944.

Join our student reporters and other classrooms around the world to explore the Normandy American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc, Southwick House, Civilians in Wartime Memorial, and many more locations that tell the story of the Normandy landings. Pictured left: Student reporters examine the Atlantic Wall and German preparations for the impending invasion, touring the Longues-sur-Mer battery to understand the defensive armaments the Allied forces had to destroy in order to make D-Day a success.

No special technology is required. Perfect for students grades 7–12. Register your class today.
