Marine Küstenbatterie Drammont

Constuction of this gun battery started in 1943 and would consist of 3 x 150 mm. guns mounted in each of their bunker. (M272)

The gun battery was still under construction when the Allies landed on the beach of Dramont August 15th 1944. The gun bunkers were partially finished, but the guns were still in Toulon.

As part of the operation the gun battery at Le Dramont, was attacked early in the morning on August 15th. 1944. The attack went though very easy, since the gun battery was not defensed and attackers could quickly occupy the empty bunkers.

The battery is now scattered with a bunker at the campsite, one on the farm next door and one that was never finished at the quarry. The bunker at the campsite is completely built into a house.
