La Batterie de Longues (Normandie)
Westlich von Arromanches zeugen nahe der Ortschaft Longues-sur-Mer noch vier Betonbunker einer deutschen Gefechtsbatterie von den Schrecken des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Die Kanonen konnten mit ihrer Reichweite von 20 Kilometern die Invasionsstrände Omaha und Gold Beach unter Beschuss nehmen, wurden jedoch noch am Abend des D-Day (6. Juni 1944) durch Panzerkreuzer der Alliierten außer Gefecht gesetzt.

Immer noch beklemmend, diese Anlagen zu sehen. Als ich 1993 dort war, waren Deutsche noch nicht überall willkommen, und auch der Bundeskanzler hatte bis dato noch nicht an D-Day-Feierlichkeiten teilnehmen dürfen.Spuren des Kriegs - D-Day in der Normandie (1) - Point-du-Hoc
