Objective - a port
(source : Historical area of the Battle of Normandy)

In order to bring supplies to the troops ashore, the Allies had one vital  need, a deep water harbour. The prime objective of the US troops on Utah Beach and around Sainte-Mère-Eglise was to capture the port of Cherbourg. The "Objectif - un port" circuit takes you through the sites, along the path taken by General Collins and VII Corps on their way to Cherbourg.
