We are currently visiting Normandy again (last time 6 years ago): Your list is still great imo. Azeville is still great, but Merville has really improved imo: the C47 you can get in and new displays make it so much better, so I would put it in there for my list: particularly for brits, canadians, dutch, belgian folks etc!

Thanks for the cracking video Panzer...We visited for 8 days last year using Sainte Mere Eglise as a home base and as you have mentioned, everyone will have their own favorite for this or that reason (we had the same number 1 museum though.). We split the days into beach sectors and after researching each sector we then had more or less a route planned out for each day. This helped get as much seen as possible. We found it best doing a museum and then live locations rather than pounding 1 museum after another (after a while they all look the same). After researching What was in the area we even got to see Mont saint Michel and the bayeux tapestry.

[@PanzerPicture]

You're welcome and indeed everybody has it's own favorite, and I have been to Mont St Michel and it's busy but amazing, I hope you didn't forget the time and found your car in few feed of water 😂 😂

[@peternijenhhuis9073]

Jammer genoeg zal ik deze museums nooit zien, dit vanwege de afstand 😥. Maar erg leuk om dit filmpje te zien. Super mooi gedaan 👍

[@RickJZ1973]

First!!! Awesome video. I really enjoyed the footage.

[@PanzerPicture]

Thank you.

[@mohammadsaida4603]

Too nice video with most effective music starting with explaining of that events too nice video thanks friend 👍

[@samhargrove9783]

Went to the Battle of Normandy Museum in Bayeux a few months back. Can't recommend it enough!

[@PanzerPicture]

Indeed that's one of the best.

[@Invicta556]

Couldn't agree more with the Airborne Museam and its location is brilliant with alot of history. I personally enjoyed Maisy battery it felt untouched and not ruined like some spots in Normandy. Point Du Hoc im honest opinion is a bit ruined with what the metal walkways on the bunkers and doesn't even mention the 5th Ranger battalion fought there with a few stray Airborne. Theys a few museams i missed out Azeville, Dead mans corner and a few others. Overall great list if i go back again ill vist the ones i missed but so many museams feel the same in Normandy at times. P.S Also theres a memorial spot of at the Le Carrefour crossroad for a battle which took place on the night of the 9th-10th June and saw 2nd Battalion 115th take 161 casualties against lost elements of the 352. Infanterie Division with two marders. The germans had ran into the Americans in the night and almost overun them but alot the them managed to flee however the CO was Lt.col Warfield was found dead by Major General Gerhardt at a fence hanging with his 1911 still in his hands. I couldnt believe the same fence is still there.

[@PanzerPicture]

The Airborne museum is on a really great condition, I liked the Maisy Battery to, but now it was dirty and overgrown. Point du hoc is totally ruined with all the metal like you saids and also the annoying gaurds everywhere.

[@ebola1974]

I'm in the process of planning a Normandy trip and this is very useful. If you revisit this type of video in future, would you be able to list how long each museum would take to tour (obviously it's a rough guess)?

[@ysbrand1114]

Dankje ik ga binnen kort naar Normandië dus dit is wel handig

[@Raiser666ablle]

Thank you for the video.

[@William_Green_252]

Watching this video by far has more in combination to offer to the public than anything in the U.S.....expecially the Tanks ....I am in envy that it's all overseas to view. A++

[@yomamabelgium4123]

back in 2011 when i was visiting normandy at 14 years of age with my dad we visited dead man's corner museum and the merville battery (wich has an amazing sound and lightshow) , i also insisted on visiting the quinéville museum as i saw on the advertisement flyers that they like recreated a paved road with buildings and where you could see some dioramas inside the different houses that was also an amazing way for diorama's in my opinion if i would make a top 10 these 3 would have surely been featured i'm planning to return to normandy on 25th of april 2022 and stay for 5 days i hope i'll have enough time to visit my list of museums and places that i already wrote down thank you for making this video i have catched on and wrote down 2 museums from your list in wich i'm intrested in

[@thomasv3900]

Totally agree with no 1 👍

[@alexisjacquot8237]

I can also recomand the memorial of falaise. The main topic of this museum is the civilians during the battle of normandy

[@alexisjacquot8237]

and it's just next to the castle of falaise where William the conqueror was born (realy cool to visit too even if it's ot related to WW2 this time)

[@thundercheck3691]

Great top 10. I Don't really have a top 10 never been to so much museums out there to get to that.

[@PanzerPicture]

Thank you

[@67daffy]

I went to a few of those in 2012, lots have changed some are still the same.

[@johntubbstobben4773]

I did miss dead mans corner. Not cheap but one of my favorites. For the rest I do agree with the listing. Been there many times and basically love em all 😊

[@skylineXpert]

Used to frequent the big one in Caen called Caen memorial.

[@jamesdean8614]

I plan to go in next few years through ledger holiday tour

[@timboy103]

Im going to normandy next week this video will help a lot, thanks!

[@PanzerPicture]

Glad you found it helpful Tim.

[@opairsoft8100]

I went to the overlord museum last year. Also saw that brummbar gun which I wasn’t positive that it was from a brummbar, thanks for confirming that it was from one

[@bajen114]

Batterie Todt. Just to see the sheer size of that colossus is worth the visit. 👍

[@Merino11]

Good, I've been to 10 out of 10 !!! in 2015 and in 2017 celebrations, very cool PP ...

[@PanzerPicture]

Thank you for the comment 👍 👍 👍

[@kerrydennison7947]

I would highly recommend a visit to the Dead Man's corner museum then remake this video.

[@davehann8178]

I went to the overlord museum and loved it, so what about the lighting they have a Strabokran!! any tank geeks will know what I'm talking about, plus the Famo 18 tonner to go with it.

[@timothyxtremegaming]

Hi, what about the Crisbecq Battery museum? What it costs? U said it's way too expensive, but it looks very interesting. I would like to visit it, but I want to know the price (at least indicatively) first. Thank you.

[@PanzerPicture]

You can see the price on Google maps, it has all the information.

[@wolfram018]

what do you think about the d-day experience museum near carentan?

[@PanzerPicture]

It was really overpriced and overrated, I was really disappointed.

[@shanelamb3727]

Just be careful of when you book, we were there in Dec-Jan lol of them closed for the month for holidays..

[@JeroenFortuin]

Have you try Brussels Royal museum?

[@PanzerPicture]

Never but really want to go one time.

[@Juup2003]

Have you seen the new basement display in Overloon War Museum yet?

[@Tom65478]

Hello i live 15h from normandy is it worth it to go see any of these museums?

[@AmazingPillowZ]

Hey everyone! I'm travelling to the Netherlands by car mid October and i'm planning on doing a 2/3 days stop in Normandy for some D-Day sightseeing. Being so little time, what are the absolutely must see museums and locations? Thanks!

[@PanzerPicture]

Last 3 museums in the video, and Point Du Hoc, Longues Sur Mer Batterie and American Cemetery at Collevile sur mer.

[@AmazingPillowZ]

@@PanzerPicture Thank you very much! There is so much to see in just a couple of days, but i'll make the most of it! Superb video aswell! :)

[@PanzerPicture]

@@AmazingPillowZ you're welcome

[@paulus1412]

really missing the "D-Day Experience (Dead Man's Corner museum)" in this top 10.

[@PanzerPicture]

The D-Day Experience was one of the worst museum I have ever been to, really overpriced and you have to go true a awful show to see the rest of the not so great museum.

[@JohnJohnson-yl9of]

Depends on what artifacts you wanna look at, best fallschirmjager collection fasho

[@user-mp7ik48zd1j-ia3]

Interesting topic and video. I think you are Dutch, right ? Don't take this the wrong way, but your accent is special... I hear : MACHINE instead of MUSEUM for example. Many museum missing, like Normandy Victory Museum - Musée de la bataille des haies, Parc d’Activités, La Fourchette, 50500 with a nice collection of ww2 vehicles and uniforms, they are all authentic there, not really the case in some of the other museum you mention...

[@PanzerPicture]

Yes indeed and the Normandy Victory Museum is in this top 10.

[@user-mp7ik48zd1j-ia3]

@@PanzerPicture oups sorry, I didn't recognize it. All have evolved in a few years...

[@PanzerPicture]

A lot of there stuff was sold off and it was called the Normandy Tank Museum back then.

[@user-mp7ik48zd1j-ia3]

@@PanzerPicture I know that well, the former owner is a friend of mine. A pity he had to sell a part of his collection, but it was just a small part of it 😉. The uniforms were repros. The new owners are more uniforms collectors.

[@seppehens8459]

the best restored bunkersystem of the atlantikwal is in my opinion raversyde in ooestende they restored 5 or more bunkers to its condition how it would have been in 42-44

[@Anth0wStyl3]

👌👍👍👍

[@MrBlysko]

are you dutch ? you've got a slight accent

[@PanzerPicture]

Yes i'm Dutch.

[@Peacemillion44]

‘Museum’

[@thepulle4722]

9:02 really? Wouldn’t the museum get more money selling the wreck to a collector than disposing of it, I mean when did they get rid of it?

[@PanzerPicture]

I saw it a few times before it was dumped and there wasn't much left and it was more rust, paint and a engine. .

[@florislok]

This Sherman was not used in Normandy. It’s made in 1945.

[@19WillYBoY84]

Not Caen?

[@PanzerPicture]

Caen is just a generic WW2 museum, not a real Normandy D-Day museum.

[@erikroelinkcitizen2302]

Helemaal mee eens geen speld tussen te krijgen.

[@srenfogh59]

Gotta be honest, I hated the Omaha beach museum - mainly due to their very poor restorations and displays. Almost all of their American equipment were in the wrong colours. This was the case with alot of the german equipment as well.

[@PanzerPicture]

Which Museum do you mean the D-day or Memorial museum?

[@srenfogh59]

It was the Memorial Museum - but at least they haven't neglected their outside collection as the Museum of the Breton Resistance has.

[@garand999]

how much was you paid for this

[@PanzerPicture]

Do you mean the amount I spent on all the museums?

[@rockandroll9299]

Что там делает солдат из РОА-Российской Освободительный Армии или проще Власовцы, что они забыли в Нормандии?)
