Somme trip via Boulogne, Anything WW2 related to stop off at on the way?

Mostonian · 07-03-2007, 08:31 PM

How's the Atlantic Wall in this sector? Or was there much action post D-Day?
Any help gratefully received.

Not been that way myself for awhile but you could have a look at this.
About the battle there in 1940.

Then there is this info about when the Canadians liberated it in 1944.
Boulogne, 1944 - www.canadiansoldiers.com

Kev
A few items abot Boulogne from "Dunkirk Fight To The Last Man" by Hugh Sebag-Montefiore.

Also Rose Coombes "Before Endeavors Fade " has a few suggestions too, although Great War related, not WW2.
