Saunton Sands - D-Day Remembrance
We had the absolute pleasure of being invited to film and capture the D-Day Remembrance of the 80th anniversary of the US Army training for the Normandy invasion.
In 1943, the British Government offered Saunton Sands, Braunton Burrows and Woolacombe Beach to the US Army in order for them to use as the site for its Assault Training Centre (ATC), to prepare around 10,000 troops for the Normandy Landings in France. The topography and tides of these beaches were just like those of northern France, making the area ideal for amphibious training exercises. US troops trained on these sites right up until the D-Day landings in 1944.
As well as using the drone, Chrissy was armed with the stills camera capturing as much as possible.
