Staying recently in a most beautiful Bed & Breakfast right behind Mont Ormel in the Falaise Gap the owners were delighted to hear of my WWII interest and were keen to 'pick my brains' on the nearby battles.
They also produced this fascinating object - a German Field Telephone ( sadly, minus handset ) which had recently been discovered hidden beneath floorboards in the farmhouse.
The farmhouse was directly in line of the rtreating German forces ; other items found included discarded ammunition, gasmask canisters, etc.
Definitely
my kind of 'B&B' !
