Turret B-Nord Fort Battice
This is a replica of turret B-Nord.
Still during the war, the turret and installation beneath it was dismantled by the German army. It is unclear whether the iron was reused, or as also happened more often that the turrets were reused in the Atlantic Wall.
The beauty of the replica is that it is built as a skeleton, making it transparent. Against the background of the sky, from a distance it looks just like a real turret.
Originally this turret was equipped with two 120 mm guns of the firm Fonderie des Canons Royal (F.R.C.).
