A small museum in Souleuvre en Bocage, dedicated to the British troops taking part in Operation Bluecoat.

More discreet than others, but no less instructive and, what's more, run by volunteers, this museum pays tribute to the British troops who took part in Operation Bluecoat from July 30 to August 7, 1944. A key operation in the Battle of Normandy, this breakthrough enabled the encirclement of the German 7th Army in the Falaise Pocket. The small museum opened in 1983 in the attic of the village school, at the instigation of Jean Ménard, a local resident who lived through the Occupation.

Accueil au top. Des indications claires et précises. On y apprend énormément, beaucoup d'informations tout cela entouré d'histoires vécues par nos soldats. Je recommande sans l'ombre d'un doute !!!!!

Very interesting museum. Gives a good impression of the early stages of the operation Overlord a few days after D-day.
