Historical parenthesis: The Americans launched an assault on the site, which covered nearly 44 hectares, the fighting was of extraordinary intensity and after five hours of fighting, the battery was removed. Never forget their sacrifice 💮. Today an enthusiast has rescued this incredible and unmissable site from oblivion, don't hesitate to take a break on a bike...😉.
