LONGUENS BATTERY

Three German artillery batteries were part of the Atlantic Wall defenses and were attacked by British destroyers before the invasion – two were destroyed but the one at Longuenes –su - Mer was repaired and operational within 24 hours.

The navy again attacked it and it was soon pounded into submission and its troop surrendered to British forces

One can now visit this battery which remains intact with its 152mm canons
