Command Bunker

Introduction

Hedgerow Country, Northern France, July 1944

Description

By July 1944, the breakout from the Normandy beachheads was well under way.  The allies found themselves up against new problems facing stubborn German defenses and navigating the difficult hedgerow country of northern France.

The German Army put up a tenacious defense, and even went over to the offensive when opportunities presented themselves.

“Command Bunker” represents one of those rare occasions when the Germans went on the offensive.  A lightly defended battalion headquarters near a critical crossroads proved too tempting for the Nazi’s to ignore.
