Scenes at the village of Hottot near the town of Tilly Sur Seulles in Nothern France
Scenes at the village of Hottot near the town of Tilly Sur Seulles in Nothern France shortly after the D-Day landings.
The village which is on the main Caen to St Lo road has seen some bitter fighting and was strongly held by the German army until they were eventually driven out by the Allied push in to France.
The village was full of mines and booby traps and snipers had to be rooted out. It was also under shell and mortar fire from the enemy and the are was mortared.
