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.

Jagdpanther,
This is the first time I'm trying to transfer an earlier post to my new one. Let's see if it works!! :-)
When I visited the Mont Ormel Museum in, I think the year 2002 or 2003, they had many hundreds of photos on the walls inside the museum. They wanted help with "identifying" (how do you spell that word?) these photos. I am still very sorry that I did not have a camera with me!
When I get there next year I will ask them if I may see those photos again!
