On October 7, we received volunteers and extras (civilians, German, British) to plan a dispatch for the ceremonies of the 80th anniversary of the landing (Sound and Lights show). We had more than a hundred applications! THANK YOU to all.
We are currently looking for British extras !
Some members of the Merville Battery Museum and the Merville Franceville Town Hall were present to validate the inscriptions. Thank you to them !
The Merville Battery is a formidable German Army fortification which was located on the Eastern flank of the Allied landings on 6 June 1944.
Bombed several times without success, it was neutralised by the 9th British Parachute Battalion after an assault of unbelievable ferocity.
On this completely preserved historical site, an educational trail takes you on a voyage of discovery of the Battery’s history as you walk between the various blockhouses.
