One of 10 Signal Monuments Marking the Key WWII D-Day
D-Day Monument的点评
点评：There is of course, more than one monument at Omaha Beach but this TA entry refers to the large stone memorial which is known as a ‘Signal Monument’. It stands on the Omaha beachfront promenade (and is not connected with the Cemetery).
It is one of a series of 10 Signal Monuments which are markers of key WWII D-Day locations along the Normandy coastline.
If like us, you are spending some time exploring the D-Day beaches and surroundings WWII sites, you will likely see more of them
Each of the 5 D-Day landing beaches has at least one signal marker. Of the five, Omaha was the bloodiest with the largest number of casualties, - at least 2,400 casualties in one single day.
The first of these monuments was erected quickly in 1950, just a few years after the war had ended. When peace finally arrived, there was a strong drive to commemorate the sacrifices of those who had fought.
They are heavy, solid looking, stone structures and were designed to look like the stern of a ship arriving at French shores.
Their weight and solidity gives a sense of permanence. Perhaps after two world wars, people needed to feel that this new peace was forever.
Each signal monument has a simple but different inscription. Prominently carved lettering, in both English and French, reads, “The Allied Forces landing on this shore which they call Omaha Beach liberate Europe – June 6 1944”.
Behind the Omaha Monument, the sea and sand stretch into the distance. Immediately behind, you can see the steel wings of the modern abstract memorial, Les Barnes, rising out of the sand.
NOTE: Many of the photos and reviews below are about the Normandy American Cemetery but this is a different TripAdvisor listing. If you are planning to visit the cemetery, it's more helpful to look up this listing separately as it has over 5,900 reviews.

翻译：当然，奥马哈海滩上不止一座纪念碑，但 TA 的这篇条目指的是被称为“信号纪念碑”的大型石碑。它矗立在奥马哈海滨长廊上（与公墓无关）。
它是 10 座信号纪念碑系列之一，这些纪念碑是诺曼底海岸线上二战诺曼底登陆关键地点的标志。
如果您像我们一样，花一些时间探索诺曼底登陆海滩和周围的二战遗址，您可能会看到更多这样的纪念碑。
5 个诺曼底登陆海滩中的每一个都有至少一个信号标记。在这五个海滩中，奥马哈是最血腥的，伤亡人数最多，一天至少有 2,400 人伤亡。
第一座这样的纪念碑是在 1950 年迅速竖立起来的，当时战争刚刚结束几年。当和平终于到来时，人们强烈地想要纪念那些为之奋斗的人的牺牲。
它们是沉重、坚固的石制建筑，设计看起来像抵达法国海岸的船尾。
它们的重量和坚固给人一种永恒的感觉。也许在两次世界大战之后，人们需要感受到这种新的和平是永恒的。
每个信号纪念碑都有简单但不同的铭文。醒目的英文和法文雕刻文字为：“盟军登陆他们称为奥马哈海滩的海岸，解放了欧洲——1944 年 6 月 6 日”。
在奥马哈纪念碑后面，大海和沙滩延伸到远处。紧接着，您可以看到现代抽象纪念碑 Les Barnes 的钢翼从沙中升起。
注意：下面的许多照片和评论都是关于诺曼底美国公墓的，但这是另一个 TripAdvisor 列表。如果您打算参观公墓，单独查找此列表会更有帮助，因为它有超过 5,900 条评论。
