Long Sleeping Dragons
LONGUES-SUR-MER Calvados - 8 km north of Bayeux A battery of the Atlantic Wall surrendered Situated west of Arromanches-les-Bains in Normandy, Longues-sur-Mer overlooked the ocean from the top of a 65 meters height cliff, a perfect position where the Germans had installed a four 150 mm guns battery. On 6 June 1944, at 5:30 am several allied battle ships opened fire on the battery.
About this place:
Longues Battery is the only one in the region to have kept its guns, and because of its excellent state of preservation, it is well worth a visit.
