The Crisbecq Battery (sometimes called Marcouf Battery) was a German World War II artillery battery constructed by the Todt Organization near the French village of Saint-Marcouf in the department of Manche in the north-east of Cotentin peninsula in Normandy. It formed a part of Nazi Germany's Atlantic Wall coastal fortifications. The main armament were three Czech 21 cm Kanone 39 canons, two of which housed in heavily fortified casemates up to 10 feet thick of concrete. The battery, with a range of 27–33 kilometers (17–21 miles), could cover the beaches between Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue and Pointe du Hoc.

  • De batterij van Crisbecq, ook wel batterij van Marcouf genoemd, was een kustbatterij in Normandië tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Gebouwd door Organisation Todt, nabij het Franse dorp Saint-Marcouf, vormde de batterij een belangrijke schakel in de door Duitsers aangelegde Atlantikwall. In de tachtig kilometer lange landingsplaatsen van de geallieerden, was de batterij van Crisbecq de sterkste in zijn soort. (nl)
