Synopsis
'The German Battery at Longues-Sur-Mer' is the essential guide to the Longues Battery.
On top of a 65 meter cliff, 3 miles west of Arromanches, Longues-Sur-Mer dominates the Normandy coastline making it the ideal location for the Germans to install a battery of four 150 mm canons, which threatened the Gold Beach to the East and the Omaha Beach to the west. The battery consists of 4 Krupp 150mm,TbtsK C/36 (L/45) cannons from a decommissioned destroyer, in type M272 Casemates with a range of 12.5 miles and a large, range-finding and observation post type M262.
On 6th June 1944, known as D-Day, as early as 5.30 am the allies heavily bombed this battery, but it continued firing until the evening. Without further fighting the British were able to ensure their position by the following day.
This book includes fascinating site maps and an interesting tourist route of the only battery which is still has its guns present today.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. This new, seemingly unread copy is bound in illustrated card covers as issued. The contents are bright, tight, white and square. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. The German battery at Longues-sur-mer located on the Calvados coaptation, is an excellent example of an Atlantic Wall strong point. However, the German battery at Longues is particularly noteworthy since it is the only one to have preserved its guns. By some mysterious miracle, it managed to escape the fervent salvage operations by post-war scrap merchants. The Longues-sur-Mer battery (German: Marineküstenbatterie (MKB) Longues-sur-Mer; also designated Widerstandsnest (Wn) 48)[1] is a World War II German coastal artillery battery approximately 1 km (0.62 mi) north of the village of Longues-sur-Mer in Normandy, France. The battery is sited on a 60 m (200 ft) cliff overlooking the Baie de Seine and formed a part of Germany's Atlantic Wall coastal fortifications, between the Allied landing sectors of Gold Beach and Omaha Beach. The battery shelled Allied naval forces off Gold and Omaha beaches on D-Day (6 June 1944), but was damaged by Allied shore bombardment the same day. It was captured on 7 June 1944 by British ground forces, playing no further part in the Normandy campaign. The battery is the only one in Normandy to retain several of its original guns. It was listed as a historical monument in October 2001, and remains in a good state of conservation. Ref HH 4. Seller Inventory # 036552
