A detailed record of German defensive positions outside Caen.
This original defensive overprint map of Caen reveals the network of German fortifications, gun emplacements, and defensive strongpoints surrounding the city in 1944. Used by Canadian and British forces during the planning and execution of the battle for Caen, it provided vital intelligence for attacks aimed at breaching one of the most heavily defended sectors in Normandy.
A powerful visual of the challenges faced by the Allied armies during the bitter fighting for control of Caen — one of the key objectives of the Normandy Campaign.
