On the other hand, the angry locals and the family members of retired soldiers accused the businessmen behind the most bloody events in European history into a tourist attraction of money.

Former Professor of Paris and novelist Betland Ledeng said in an interview with the Guardian: "They said that they would organize a 'sensational performance' near the beach and cemetery in Norman, creating 'commands The elements of people 'amazing', this is immoral and decent. "" This ethical principle of commercialization of history is extremely shocking. "

One of the promoters of the project stated: "We want to pass on the most people in today's technology, to make the stories that occur with history to the most, and make it interesting. It's so simple. This is not a theme park. We Normandy has never been called for landing. As for making money, who will seriously start a business to lose money? "

If the project is approved, it will be built on the 75 -acre land of Karlang Tanglema. The project promoter hopes that the scenic spot will be open in 2025, attract 600,000 tourists each year, and reaps up to 28 euros tickets.

The petition wrote, "We are shocked, their memory is used as tourist attractions as tourist attractions. Come to treat ...
