Short Tour SWORD BEACH 2, from Colleville sur Orne to Ouistreham :
British and French Commandos
On June 6th 1944, at Colleville sur Orne, landed 2,500 British Commandos under the command of General Lord Lovat. Among them were the 177 Frenchmen of the 1st Bataillon de Fusiliers Marins Commandos. I will tell you how Philippe Kieffer created this unit and what was their mission on D Day and after D Day.
