Home to the graves of nearly 10,000 American soldiers who died fighting to liberate France in World War II, the Normandy American Military Cemetery, just a stone’s throw from Omaha Beach, is a revered site of remembrance visited by 2 million people a year. A common belief is that the cemetery is officially American soil but this is a myth, explains the cemetery’s superintendent Scott Desjardins, who took FRANCE 24 on a tour of the site ahead of the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
