Longues-sur-Mer battery

Local nameBatterie d'artillerie de Longues
LocationLongues-sur-Mer, France

The Longues-sur-Mer battery is a World War II German coastal artillery battery approximately 1 km north of the village of Longues-sur-Mer in Normandy, France. The battery is sited on a 60 m cliff overlooking the Baie de Seine and formed a part of Germany's Atlantic Wall coastal fortifications, between the Allied landing sectors of Gold Beach and Omaha Beach.

The battery shelled Allied naval forces off both beaches on D-Day, but was damaged by Allied shore bombardment the same day, then captured on 7 June 1944 by British ground forces, playing no further part in the Normandy campaign.
