About Verlaine Message Museum

The Verlaine Message Museum or Museum of 5 June 1944 is a chronicled exhibition hall established in 1991 in Tourcoing, France, close Lille. It is named after the message sent by the BBC's Radio Londres at 9:15 pm on June 5, 1944 declaring the unavoidable intrusion of Normandy. The gallery comprises of the solid dugout where the German Wehrmacht captured the message. The 15th Army was sent in Normandy and the Netherlands.

The home office comprised of 13 solid brick houses. These secured the occupiers against air strikes and synthetic weapons. German fighters with little arms and automatic rifles controlled physical access to the shelters. Amid Allied getting ready for Operation Overlord, the real date of D-Day should have been stayed discreet, yet the Allies relied upon collaboration with the French Resistance.

On 1 June 1944, a message was communicated over Radio London to advise the Resistance that the intrusion could be normal inside about fourteen days. The rooms most essential to the fortification's wartime work — the generators, ventilators, phone trade and interpretation division, just as the general's office, kitchen and gatekeeper post, are open for general visibility and are reestablished to wartime appearance. You can come here and explore this place.
