Mortain-Bocage
The Mortain-Bocage is a region in Normandy, France, known for its rolling hills and dense hedgerows. It played a significant role during World War II, particularly in the Battle of Normandy in 1944. The area was the site of intense fighting as Allied forces sought to break through German defenses.
The Battle of Mortain occurred in early August 1944, when German troops launched a counteroffensive to regain control. Despite initial successes, the Allies ultimately repelled the attack, contributing to the liberation of France. Today, the region is remembered for its historical significance and is a site of interest for military historians and tourists alike.
