Longues-sur-Mer battery

The Longues-sur-Mer battery in Germany's WWII "Atlantic Wall", is the only one in Normandy France to retain all its original guns in place. It was located on a 200 foot high bluff between the Allied landing beaches of Gold and Omaha, and shelled both beaches on D-Day.
On D-Day, attacks by Allied bombers severed communication cables to the fire control bunker. Then the British cruisers Ajax and Argonaut engaged the battery, followed by the French cruisers Georges Leygues and Montcalm, assisted by the WW I vintage dreadnought USS Arkansas. The Allies naval return fire silenced three of the four heavy guns, with the battery being captured on D-Day+1 by Company C of the 2nd Devonshire Regiment after firing a total of 100 150mm shells.

Funny trivia about the 63 split window Vette.
My best buddy's father was the head/lead engineer at Chevrolet in the 60's that actually drew the designs to eliminate the split window. My buddy teases his dad that he personally made that year Vette iconic. How cool.
