The Batterie de Maisy was an integral part of the German Atlantic Wall around the
Utah and Omaha beaches.
Covering both beaches with six 155mm artillery emplacements, the battery opened fire
on the liberating troops landing on the beaches below.
After 5 long hours, the assault by the 5th and 2nd American Rangers finally silenced
the guns here.
Buried for over 60 years, the site has been excavated and you can now visit the 1.5
km of trenches, tunnels and underground constructions, as well as the gun emplacements
themselves.
