Temat: Bateria Crisbercq w czerwcu 1944
O zatopieniu niszczyciela http://www.uss-corry-dd463.com/d-day_u- ... arcouf.htm O zdobyciu pozycji baterii http://1-22infantry.org/history/ddayplus1.htm The Americans tended to call it Crisbecq, and the Europeans called it Saint-Marcouf. Pre-D-Day Intelligence reported six 155-millimeter guns in the battery, but those six guns were moved and three long-range 210-millimeter guns were installed. Located 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometers) inland from Utah Beach, the battery is credited with sinking an American destroyer on D-Day as troops were landing on Utah Beach. The Corry was the only U.S. destroyer sunk on D-Day and the U.S. Navy's only major loss that day.
