Gun battery

Inside the gun battery on the end of Pont du Hoc. The ceiling is all black from when the rangers burned the Germans out with flame throwers. The walls are still all pocked with bullet holes too. I had the impression not much was moved at all after the war. Plus here and at the American cemetery I was back in the states for a while! Those two spots are American land, given by the French government.
