Batterie d'Azeville, German artillery battery in Azeville, France.
The Azeville battery contains four reinforced concrete casemates connected by 800 meters of underground tunnels and covered trenches for military operations.
Built in 1941 as part of the Atlantic Wall, this battery fired upon Allied forces at Utah Beach during D-Day before surrendering on June 9, 1944.
The Department of Manche preserves this military site through exhibitions and educational programs about World War II coastal fortifications in Normandy.
The battery complex opens from Sunday through Thursday between 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM, offering both self-guided and guided tours of the fortifications.
The German army painted the battery structures to match the local village stones, creating a camouflage pattern that persists on the concrete walls.
