Stop #3 - Batterie Longues sur Mer

3 out of the 4 German heavy gun casings still remain intact with the 150mm barrels still pointing seaward.
Legend has it that the destroyed casing had a 6-pound shell arrive down the barrel in a DIRECT hit, but the more likely tale was an ordnace storage mis-hap long after the Allies had taken the area. Just awesome to see before the eyes, I must say.
