Default Re: Pic : 'Favourite' WWII Battlefield....

Moissy is a sombre but fascinating place to visit, it has an eerie calm and silence about it.

One cannot imagine what it must have been like to be there at the time of the breakout.

Another interesting place close to Moissy is Mont Ormel and it's visitor centre.The fighting on and around the hill was particularly savage with hand to hand combat between the Germans and Poles who were defending the hill.

There is a great view from the hill across the Falaise Gap area and inside the visitors centre are lots of photographs taken at Moissy and the surrounding area after the battle.
