In 1943, the HKAR 1261 regiment moved to the east coast of the Cotentin peninsula. With its 10 batteries, it covered an area stretching from Saint-Martin-de-Varreville to Barfleur (Gatteville). Together with 1 navy battery, 2 radar stations and numerous support points and nests of resistance, it was ready to face the D-Day landings. How do the various elements of the Atlantic Wall fit together?
How does a battery work? An observation post? What equipment was used?
Demonstration, using the example of Azeville, with period equipment (periscope, rulers and calculators, maps, etc.).
