D-DEX

Overloon War Museum is the other way - with us you experience history in a different way 

Experience the D-Day invasion up close!

This new experience will open to the public in a test phase on Saturday, September 7. It will be accessible during the museum's opening hours. 

Step into the footsteps of the American 146th Engineer Combat Battalion (in six different rooms), one of the first units to land on Omaha Beach in Normandy in 1944. 

The 146th ECB was tasked with creating a total of ten gaps, each 50 meters wide, in the beach obstacles in the early morning. Follow this unit closely and see how they try to neutralize the German opposition on the beaches and in the bunkers.

Ray Lanterman

The unit landed in ten small teams called "Boat Teams." Each Boat Team was responsible for creating a safe passage. You will follow Boat Team 9, led by American Lieutenant Ray Lanterman.

Come experience D-DEX and become part of a unique setting with video, audio, sets, special effects, and authentic and original collection pieces.

UNIQUE, IMPRESSIVE, AND MOVING!

The museum is open every day this week! Visit D-DEX and experience the invasion of D-Day up close!
