The Merville Battery was a German army fortification during the Second World War<\/strong>, neutralized on June 6, 1944 by the British 9th Parachute Battalion. The site, now transformed into a place of remembrance<\/strong>, offers a fascinating and poignant plunge<\/strong> into history. If we loved our visit, it’s because the entirely preserved site creates immersion<\/strong> by re-enacting the D-Day assault <\/strong>through a projection <\/strong>and giving visitors the chance to wander through its historic elements(bunkers, aircraft, cannon<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n

Here are some useful tips<\/strong> for planning your visit to the Merville Battery<\/strong>, Normandy<\/strong>, on Sword Beach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
