I believe you are correct. If I recall the tour guide took us to the bridge during out tour of the museum.

My dream vacation would be to take a Stephen Ambrose Historical Tour. Particularly the Band of Brothers tour. To see all those sites in relation to the film and the 101 st Airborne would be the best.

I've been to Normandy and Dieppe for WW2. We were mostly in France, so we saw a lot more of the WW1 sites such as Vimy.

I was in French Morocco in 1954, and there were still wrecked landing craft
10 yards from the beach. The beach was Medhia, but I'm not sure of the
correct spelling. Minefields all over the place, but they were fenced and
signs in ten languages. School boys would amuse themselves by throwing
rocks in the area, hopeing to trigger a mine.
