Some of the first German fortifications built on the French coast were started at Azeville battery in 1941. The Germans installed four First World War 105mm guns in concrete casements. The guns at the battery fired upon Utah Beach on D-Day and the battery fell into American hands on the morning of 9 June 1944. The battery is now a museum.
