Descriptionof Les bombardements alliés sur la France
Manufacturer

In the American cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach, red ceramic stars marking the Allied bombardments can be seen on the huge map carved in stone. Foreign tourists are unaware of what these stars symbolise for the French: Pain, drama and sometimes incomprehension. How can one wage war against friends? Time took its course and pushed the suffering of the French under the Allied bombs into oblivion; history will only remember the liberation from this tide that took tens of thousands of civilian lives.

"That was the price we had to pay for our freedom". Did a young mother who found her dead child under a collapsed wall think of freedom then? This book gives an overview of the French cities that suffered from these fratricidal bombings, their actors, their motives and their machines. It is a memorial to the 60000 French civilians who died as a result of Allied bombing in World War 2.
