Kazemat type 669 bewapend met een 88mm kanon. Dit prachtige dorp aan de Normandische kust ten oosten van Arromanches-les-Bains was op D-Day het middelpunt van de actie toen Britse troepen landden op het brede zandstrand ten oosten van de positie. De grootste constructie hier is een R677-kazemat die een 88mm Pak 43/41-kanon huisvestte en naar verluidt zes pantservoertuigen vernietigde die op het strand landden. Wn37 heeft ook twee overgebleven Bf58c Tobruks voor machinegeweren en er waren hier meer kanonkazematten in aanbouw, die werden tegengehouden door de geallieerde landingen. De oostelijke kant van de Mulberry Harbour-kaisons is hier nog steeds vanaf de kust te zien. Asnelles was ooit een locatie van verschillende Preventoriums - huizen aan zee voor kinderen die herstellen van tuberculose - en de Fransen bouwden twee grote schuilkelders bij de huizen. Beide zijn nog steeds te zien in de tuinen van enkele van de grotere huizen in het gebied bij het strand. Remains of German defence line of the 2WW. This is an absolutely massive structure it had a very dark past in a very dark purpose. Fortunately it was not able to be used at its full extent or there could have been a great deal of difference in the outcome of World War II. The construction and walking around inside of it is imposing to say the least. Superb World War II German Bunker (Blockhaus) Magnifique le matin très tôt par coefficient de marée très faible et vent nul... It was actually a 75mm or 77mm, not an 88 Very interesting This is where my dad came ashore on D-day. We visit every trip just to pay our respects to those who suffered that fateful day. Super Belle étendue de plage . Un endroit où nos soldats ont péri. My father came ashore this beach on 06.06.1944. He was 20 years old, he told me about this gun firing out towards the landing craft and the Allied ships & boats returning fire. He didn’t know what scared him more, the German gun firing or the Allied gun hitting short of the mark and his craft being hit. These young lads were told not to fall in the sea as no one would be picking them out of the water. 20 years old! When he got on the beach the gun had been taken by the allied armies. What he saw happen on that beach, what he heard…… Many years later I visited that beach, it is so peaceful and it was hard to think of the carnage that day and the days that followed. I visited with a group of Normandy Veterans and the locals were so kind and appreciative of what they did. Sadly their numbers have dwindled now. I do recommend anyone visiting this area to stand on that beach, look towards the gun that was firing out that day and ask yourself, could I have done what those brave lads did?
