Évrecy (French pronunciation: [evʁəsi] ^ⓘ) is a commune in the Calvados department in the Normandy region in northwestern France situated on the River Guigne. It was almost entirely destroyed on 15 June 1944 by 223 Royal Air Force Lancaster and 100 Halifax heavy bombers, with 14 Mosquito light bombers. At Évrecy the headquarters of the Wehrmacht’s Twelfth Panzer Division was destroyed, and 130 out of 430 civilians were killed, the highest proportion in any community during the Battle of Normandy.^[3]
