75th anniversary of the Landing at the museum – June 6, 2019
Demonstrations and gatherings of military vehicles
On the day of June 4, 2019, 40 German vehicles from the Notek column, part of one of the largest concentrations in Europe with exceptional machines, ended their historic journey at the Normandy Victory Museum. A course strewn with pitfalls and unforeseen events accomplished by brave pilots.


A project initiated by Normandy Stories and funded with the help of many donors including the Normandy Victory Museum but also the other emblematic museums of our region, the municipalities and various associations and American funds. In the project team, we find Christian Taylor and Terry Jun, both directors, writers and executive producers, but also Flo Boucherie, daughter of Dany Patrix Boucherie, also producer.
