Wn Trou013 Les Aubets

1944 German plan

Information

Wn Trou013 Les Aubets

Details

Trou13 was in fields about a kilometre to the east of Les Aubets. The battery would have been in field positions (not in concrete ringstands or casemates). They may have been horse drawn. They covered the beaches and town of Villerville.
When the Merville batterie retreated from Normandy, they collected their horses from the fields and found they were too fat and unfit, due to not being used enough. So they exchanged their fat horses for farmers draught horses.
