Cambrai Tank 1917 in Flesquières, with a tank recovered in 1988, presenting many photographs and souvenirs of the time.
When you enter Cambrai Tank 1917 (or Cambrai Battle Interpretation Center), you will take a step into history. Indeed, this place bears its name well, since it contains the tank "Deborah 51", one of the tanks that was on the field during the battle of Cambrai. You will start by immersing yourself in history, with many photographs and souvenirs of the time. Then, you will go down to a depth of 6 meters to meet this tank, found in 1998. Finally, a 20-minute film will teach you more about this era.

20. Nov. 1998 auf einem Feld in der Nähe ausgegraben. Deborah und die Artefakte sind ausgestellt. Die Besatzung liegt neben an auf dem Militärfriedhof.
There are three films to watch about the history history of the area, the battle, and the discovery and excavation of this tank and plenty of space to sit if you are with a tour group. There are also interactive displays with broken off parts of the tank and scale models of battles and tanks.
There are also detailed profiles of the crew of Deborah, with photos and artefacts from their time at war. Some of the crew are buried in the graveyard above the museum, it's well worth the 5 minute walk up there and through the peace gardens to visit. The graves are III B8 and III B9, if you would like to find them quicker than we did!
Le musée est centré autour d'une carcasse de char. Ce prétexte qui pourrait sembler mince, permet de raconter de façon passionnante le premier engagement de tanks à large échelle.
C'est un musée comme je les aime. Il raconte une histoire.
