Allied Meeting Point Chambois
At this spot, elements of the US 90th Infantry Division met the 1st Polish Armored Division in the evening of August 19, 1944. For two days, Polish and American troops defended the town against continuous assaults launched by overwhelming enemy forces (mostly remnants of the German 7th Army). The battle ultimately was ended as Allied air support finally destroyed what was left of the German forces.
