One of the most formidable and well preserved German gun batteries along Normandy is at Longues-sur-Mer. In this episode, we are visiting this iconic German coastal defense complex that threatened both Gold and Omaha Beach on D-Day. Tons of interesting things to see here. Always learning!

(Note: at the observation bunker, what I said looked like battle damage are actually there by design for the placement of vegetation for camouflage. Apologies for the error.)
