France - Normandy Day 2 - Battle Of Normandy War Museum

 The Battle of Normandy War Museum is situated in Bayeux. It is smaller than the one in Caen and we spent several hours here. The building looks similar to a bunker and many tanks are on the outside.

 They have a chronological series of rooms about the lead up to D-Day, the landings itself and the liberation of Normandy from the German army. Here are Canadian uniforms of WW2.

 Here are German uniforms.

 There are artillery, jeeps, half-tracks and other large items used during WW2 in the rooms.

 I was also interested in what my Grandfather's Regiment, the North Shore Regiment, did during the war. Especially so because he missed the initial landings due to pneumonia. He rejoined them either just before or just after the taking of Carpiquet, which came before the assault on Caen.

Here is a recording that played to encourage German forces to surrender.
