Redoute de Merville was Built in 1760, under Louis XVI, on the principles of Vauban's fortification, this defensive work was intended to defend Ouistreham and Colleville-sur-Orne to block access to the bay of Orne, during the “Second Hundred Years War” (1690-1815) with the British empire.
It consisted of officers' quarters, a guardhouse for thirty men, including six gunners for the service of a battery of two 24-pounder guns, capable of firing one hundred shots, and a mortar.
The fortification had to fight its fiercest battles during the Revolutionary and Empire wars (1798 and 1807), and was put under heavy naval fire.
The fort would largely be abandoned in 1815, but would still serve as a customs post.
During the German occupation in 1940 the fort was more or les abandoned for over a century, but like many other 18th century forts on the atlantic wall, it would be reused by the Germans and receives its fair share of new concrete fortification.
it's not known to me what happened during the battle and it seems that the Germans just abandoned the position.

I agree with you guys, what is this vandalism and these writings? This makes me very angry and sad. Thank you for this video.
The quality of your videos have been steadily rising :) You deserve more subscribers, mate!
Thank you Hans.
Yes, my friend, you deserve more and more subscribers, as my fellow commentator Hans said, and I wish you success ❤️🔥🤙✅
Another excellent video. You take us places other vloggers never seem to go. Keep up the great work and videos.
Glad you liked the video and thank you for the comment.
The Graffiti really pisses me off. These sites need to be restored and set up for Tourism.
its a shame that some of these bunkers are filled with trash...
The French aren't exactly know for their cleanliness
I wonder if it would be appropriate to restore and preserve these for future generations. I know it's tempting to let them decay since the war is still relatively fresh, but I think people centuries from now would appreciate their preservation.
With the popularity of the Normandy locations it would probably be a museum at one point.
@@PanzerPicture Hopefully sooner rather than later. It's sad to see all the vandalism.
This place needs to be cleaned of that awful graffiti and made into a museum or historical site quickly. So sad to see it in such a horrible state.

TY 🙏🙏
les graffitis sont un fléau...
