Grandcamp-Maisy.
AOK 7, KVA H2, KV.Gr. Bayeux, KVU Gr. Vire, Stp. Grandcamp, H.K.B. Les Perrugues (Maisy Battery), Stp. 83.

When you drive over the D514 in the direction of Osmanville, just outside the village of Grandcamp-Maisy, you have to turn right into the Route de Perregues. The signs bring you to the museum.
This battery was a long time 'out of sight' for the world because it was almost completely covered with earth. Therefore the battery was also 'forgotten' by the historians and bunker interested people. Untill Gary Stern, a English man, got sight on the location and started to purchase some of the location to develop it into a museum. Today the location is for about 70% excavated and still some parts have to be searched. There is the intention to build a museum with the history of the battery and the history of the American Rangers who fought here during the landings in 1944 and captured the battery as well.
Many questions have been raised already and many still will come on what has happened with the Maisy Battery and why it was so long 'of the radar' in all the articles, books and information about the Allied landings in Normandy in June 1944.
