The Musee Memorial de la Bataille de Normandie covers as globally as possible, the military events immediately following the Landings. After a brief presentation of the strategic position prior to the Landings, you will see how the battle unfolded (from 7th June to 29th August 1944) and follow the Allies progress through a series of illustrated texts, original maps and 3D relief models. Five themed areas are also featured using video projections: the role of General de Gaulle between 1935 and 1946; the Mulberry harbours; the taking of Cherbourg ; the role of aviation in the Battle and finally, the Battle of the Hedgerows. There is also a large collection of heavy equipment, arms, uniforms and various other items including archive film footage.
