Hi,
I have Just built Academys 1/35 scale M10 Duckbill and I would like to put in a Normandy setting and I was thinking about the Villiers Bocage as a good way of showing it of does anybody know of any good websites that show this area of France during WW2.

The bocage,

Imagine rather small square fields and pasture surrounded with hedgrows and bushes.

Here are some pictures of this landscape type

Hope this helps Q

ok..just type "bocage" in google, you'll find what you need.

Michael,

If you find nothing on the web to suit your needs if you can find a copy Leo Daugherty's "The Battle of the Hedgerows: Bradley's First Army in Normandy, June-July 1944" published in 2001 by MBI, you'll find a great deal of reference images.
Welcome to Armorama...
