Bayeux was the first town to be liberated in north-western Europe and its Musée Memorial de la Bataille de Normandie is concerned exclusively with the military and human history of the Normandie battle of 7 June to 22 August 1944. It is a relatively recently formed museum located in the Boulevard Fabian Ware in the south-west of Bayeux, in Calvados. Its exhibits include a 220m display of original documents, as well as numerous uniforms, and items of weaponry including military vehicles and small-arms. Some vehicles are on display outside the Museum; they can be seen and photographed at any time.

This Flakpanzer is displayed in a tableau with the museum’s Flakpanzer. It is displayed as a largely complete wreck, and appears to be in fairly good condition. Its label states “This particular vehicle, which belonged a prior to the 12th SS ‘Hitlerjugend’ Panzerdivision, was destroyed on 20th or 21st August 1944 near Saint-Lambert-sur-Dives. It was retrieved in Trun from a scrap-yard at the beginning of the 1980s, and was renovated by the museum team”.
This Flakpanzer was one of four discovered in the Trun scrapyard (q.v.). At least one of the others went to the Saumur Armour Museum (q.v.), and another one went to the Musée Automobiles de Normandie at Clères (q.v.). They were all in a very poor rusted condition when they were discovered.
