- On 6 august 2024
- La Gare
- Relive the Mortain counter-attack. A real time machine. - Opposite Mortain ? Le Neufbourg station, come and enjoy an unprecedented experience thanks to the "2nd Armored in Europe" association and over 300 costumed extras from all over Europe and the USA, with around 60 vehicles including a Sherman tank. - This historical re-enactment shows the tactics used, but also the harshness of the fighting at the time. The extras take on a role, offering a sensory representation of what it was like to fight in the summer of 1944, through a dynamic presentation of the vehicles, weapons and equipment used by the soldiers. This action not only allows us to feel the weight of the equipment, but also to recreate an immersive sound experience. It's a real visualization of our historical knowledge, based on eyewitness accounts, archives and documentation not always accessible to the general public. - Mortain-Le Neufbourg train station, route de la gare Free admission No reservation required Open to the public
