I am sorry to see you here if you were redirected to this page. Please read this article further when you were lost on the website! Many details are easier to find now, when you take a little time, reading how to do that. And perhaps look at this little movie, telling why Back to Normandy has started in 2003.

Back to Normandy has been updated, because of security reasons, mobile use and new technology and because of a new approach of presenting the thousands of records to the visitors.

A great part of the content has been moved to other places. For example you can find all the divisions in one directory depending of the type of division (infantry, armored or airborne). But be sure, all the data were you looking for is still available. And of course there are new updates! 

It will be more fun to explore Back to Normandy with the tens of thousands of records about WWII.
