In the spring of 1944, life in the Norman village of Creully follows the daily concerns of a community under occupation. But on the morning of Tuesday 6 June, its inhabitants unwittingly become witnesses to a succession of events that will place the village — and most particularly Château de Creullet — at the very heart of the organisation of the D-Day landings of 6 June 1944.

Unaware of the extraordinary destiny his home is living through, the owner of Château de Creullet, Colonel de Druval, records daily in his school notebook the historical events of which he is a direct witness. This work is an exceptional testimony of life in Creully, offering a fresh perspective: that of the history of General Montgomery's headquarters.
