Originally, the battery of Amfreville is a strong French artillery position dating from 1898 which is inscribed in the defense of the port of Cherbourg. Beginning in 1926, three guns of 164 mm models 1893-96 were installed: these parts opened fire on June 18, 1940 on German troops located in the Martinvast region, before being destroyed by order the following day.
This is also said about
Batterie d'Amfreville Ouest (f). So I am not too sure which guns were used in 1940.
