Longues-sur-Mer Battery Tours

The latest anti-aircraft gun from World War 2 in France. The sun was shining in the middle of the barrel ....

One of four German navy guns positioned at Longues-sur-Mer as part of Hitler's Atlantic Wall. On D-Day these guns fired over 170 rounds at British and American warships, though by nightfall the warships had taken out three them. The next day the entire crew - some 184 men - surrendered to advancing Allied forces.

Normandy, traces of D-day.
June 6, 2019: 75th anniversary of D-day in Normandy.
The German Battery in Longues-sur-Mer is a well-preserved coastal defence battery with three of the four guns used on D-Day still in place. #D_day_Normandy
