Batteries de Crisbecq. Tokina AT-X Pro SD 12-24mm F4 (IF) DX
This 21cm Skoda canon of the “Crisbecq Battery” had a range of more than 30 kilometres. On D-day (6 June 1944) the battery was engaged in combat with the Allied naval and landing forces on Utah Beach. During the course of the battle, it sank the USS Corry and damaged several other ships. The Crisbecq Battery site is an open air museum and enables visitors to discover how the defence of the German army along the ‘Atlantic Wall’ was organised. #D_day_Normandy #Perspectives #History
