De Lange Max site

Description

På dette sted stod et af de store kanoner fra den tyske hær, Lange Max. Egentlig var det kanoner, der var beregnet til slagskibe, den er 17 meter lang og vejer 75 tons. Et projektil vejer 750 kilogram. Det var den tyske admiral Max Rogge, der havde planen om at bruge disse kanoner på land til lange afstande, deraf navnet.

Fra juni 1917 blev det taget i brug for at bombe havnen i Dunkerque. Bombene tager halvanden minut at nå til Dunkerque. Fra de belgiske stillinger bliver de observeret og et minut før ankomst gives besked til Dunkerque. Kanonen dræber 114 personer, også i Koksijde, Nieuwpoort og Bergues.

I 1941 blev kanonen nedtaget af den tyske besætter på grund af metallet. Nu er der et museum, hvor historien om Lange Max og Marinekorps Flanders fortælles.
