Mr Stern dug up a gun emplacement for the 155mm gun shelling Omaha Beach.
If all is true what is said about this new found battery, than the assault to Ponite du Hoc is highly questionable. Could yit really be that the Ranger attacked the wrong strongpoint at D-Day? There are Rangers, after Mr Stern who clearly confimred, that they asaulted the Maisy 2 battery and it took them longer than expected to take them.
Here are some shots of the Maisy 1 battery around 500 meters away of the other site. The bunker is of a type H669. They held 105mm LeFh 14/19 (t) 1916 Skoda guns of the 8./AR 1716 HKAR.
