Normandy Battlefield Guide
Audouville-la-Hubert
At around 3pm on D-Day some 30 Georgian and German prisoners of war were "liquidated" at La Herguerie Farm at Audouville-la-Hubert by American troops. Orders had been given to American troops not to take prisoners in the first 72 hours after D-Day because of the lack of facilities to look after them. History is always written by the victor and the brutal acts by the defeated become war crimes whilst those of the victor are overlooked. These actions are referred to in Steven Spielberg's Band of Brothers.
About me...
My name is James Dinsdale and I am a Battlefield enthusiast. I am also a member of The Guild of Battlefield Guides. I have been visiting Battlefields all over the world for over 25 years. From Gettysburg to Hiroshima, Stalingrad to the Falklands, Agincourt to Isandlwana, you name it and there is a good chance I’ve been there.
I now spend a lot of my time at my home near Bayeux in Normandy where I can indulge my interests in Battlefields and fine food.
If you are coming to Normandy and are interested in the Battlefields I may be able to help you.
