The collection and its sources

Yves Cordelle created the first website in 2006 to bring together documents about the Omaha Beach landings, particularly at Vierville-sur-Mer. His grandson Yohann Cordelle has been responsible for its continuation and redesign since October 2026.

The collection brings together texts, eyewitness accounts, photographs, maps and documents from different sources. Attributions, qualifications and uncertainties in the sources must be considered when reading and citing them. The site redesign does not amount to a fresh historical verification of every document.

Contact details in some older documents are historical. For current enquiries, contact Yohann Cordelle. The page The author and the documents explains the collection’s origins and how it is being continued.

Copyright and reuse

Yves Cordelle’s original texts for which his heirs hold the rights, together with the relevant introductory texts, are available under the Creative Commons Attribution–NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0) licence, unless otherwise stated.

Reuse must credit the author, cite the website and page URL, link to the licence and indicate any changes. Third-party photographs, maps, eyewitness accounts and other works retain their own rights: the website’s licence does not automatically apply to them. Public-domain status and legal exceptions, including short quotations when the conditions are met, remain applicable.

The citation guidelines and reuse examples explain the permitted uses. For commercial use requiring permission, contact Yves Cordelle’s heirs through Yohann. To tell us about a non-commercial project, see Reuse of the collection.
