Plaque

A rectangular plaque commemorating the American breakthrough in France on July 25, 1944, with an inscription written in French. That day, the U.S. First Army initiated Operation Cobra to break through the German-held Normandy region following the D-Day landings. American forces launched a powerful aerial and artillery assault near Saint-Lô, overwhelming enemy defenses. This critical offensive enabled a swift U.S. advance, significantly contributing to the liberation of Brittany and the collapse of German resistance in Normandy.
