I had initially posted about the Maisy Battery on January 7, 2008. It is the German gun emplacement overlooking Omaha Beach, the site of the D-Day invasion. Because it was built in secret, it had become forgotten for 60 years until someone found a reference to it on a crinkled map which fell out of an old pair of US serviceman's trousers at a military memorabilia fair in Stockport.
On my 2008 post, I noted that the website was just a stub - now it is fleshed out nicely and looks fascinating.
Check out the Maisy Battery - some fascinating history there...
