Most people who visit Normandy will pay a visit to the German gun batteries at Longues-sur-Mer or Point du Hoc, but there is a bunker complex in the Utah Beach sector that way more vast than either of those. Crisbecq Battery was a menace to the Utah Beach sector on D-Day and in the days after. It's also where one of Niland brothers (from whom the Saving Private Ryan story is based on) was killed. In this episode, we're exploring this vast complex and getting a better idea of what the German defenses looked like along the Atlantic Wall.

On my trip to Normandy for the 70th anniversary, I introduced myself to a veteran quietly sitting in the Notre Dame Cathedral in Bayeux. He was wearing a hat with the name USS Corry. He humbly explain the ship blowing up. I asked what did he do when this happened. His reply was “What the hell do you think I did, I jump in the water”. He mentioned it took 3 hours for their sister ship to pick them up. So humble.

Your description of preservation after 60 years etc would almost fit that of the camp at Grandcampe Maisy. Maisy Battery was literally buried after the war.

He has excavated it and new bunkers have just been added to the known site. Truly massive and very controversial.

During the drone shots above the battery you could see, on the grass, faint lines. This could mean that thee is something under the grass that hasn't been dug up. Archaeologists sometimes use aerial photos of field to highlight where stone structures have been . The stone under the earth causes the grass to grow at a shorter length than the surrounding grass. When up high you can see the difference. There appeared to be a few 'structures' under that grass?

The gun you showed at position 19, had a different tragic ending. American engineers set explosives to destroy the emplacement,. but the explosives detonated prematurely, killing between 10 and 12 American soldiers. A local told me that not all the remains form either of the emplacments were totally recovered.

They've done an amazing job restoring the Crisbecq complex. Most places just mow and maintain around them but fail to restore and protect the actual bunkers. Great video! Are you going to be at SoS in Louisville Friday?

That hole in the wall is amazing. The people on the other side would have been vaporized. Another outstanding video. This series is batting a thousand. All the content is superb. JD, has late night TV or NPR or anyone reached out to talk to you about this? It's really remarkable.

JD you always have the best luck going to all these places and being alone.
