Normandy 1944
Longues-sur-Mer German Battery
Battlefield
The story
One of the best places to understand the Atlantic Wall as a working artillery system — original guns remain in their casemates.
What to look for
Walk between positions rather than viewing one bunker; the spacing is part of the system.
