Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : La batterie de Merville est l'une des batteries côtières du "Mur de l'Atlantique". Elle fut construite par l'armée allemande pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Dans la nuit du 5 au 6 juin 1944, elle sera prise d'assaut par 150 hommes du 9ème bataillon des parachutistes britanniques (6th Airborne). Depuis 2008, elle accueille un authentique « C-47 Dakota » ayant servi au largage de parachutistes américains lors du « D-Day »
English: The Merville Gun Battery was a coastal fortification in Normandy, France, in use as part of the Nazis' Atlantic Wall built to defend continental Europe from Allied invasion. It was a particularly heavily fortified position and one of the first places to be attacked by Allied forces during the Normandy Landings commonly known as D-Day. Since 2008, an authentic "C-47 Dakota" plane is displayed. It has been used for parachutists drops during the D-Day operations.
