France - Aout 44 Museum - Falaise - 1

This museum shows the history of some of the last battles that are directly related to the D-day. After fighting their way from the beaches the Allies had caught a huge part of the German army in the "Falaise Pocket". This museum shows a lot the equipment and uniforms used during the battle, where the German army tried to get out of this "trap".
