The Cotentin Farm Museum hosts the exhibition ‘Système D-DAY’, focusing on the creativity of Normandy’s farmers during World War II and the Reconstruction period. The exhibit moves beyond the well-known D-Day operation of June 6, 1944, to demonstrate how civilians repurposed military materials for everyday needs. Visitors will discover how items like a helmet became a grain measure, and a gas mask case transformed into a milk jug. This compelling showcase encourages reflection on a challenging time that deeply affected Normandy’s residents, who faced significant adversities in their quest for freedom.
