72nd Anniversary of the D-Day beach Landings in Normandy
Wednesday 1st June
Sainte Mère Eglise
Inauguration of exhibition: «Battle of the Bulge, Bastogne, Winter 1944 », at the Airborne Museum.
December 16th, 1944, Hitler ordered a major German offensive campaign to take back Anvers harbor and stop Allied advance. The surprise attack caught the Allied forces completely off guard: it was sudden, quick and efficient. Decisions had to be made: General Eisenhower sent reserve units from France in reinforcement.
This exhibition will last until the end of the year.
