Kieffer Commando Memorial (La Flamme), Ouistreham
Highlight • Monument
In a beautiful park on the coast is this monument of the No. 4 Commandos of Lt. Kieffer, who came ashore in the early morning of June 6, 1944 to neutralize the batteries of Ouistreham.
The monument is located on a German 644 bunker that was part of Stützpunkt 08 HKB Riva Bella. The Stützpunkt with 6 155mm guns served to defend the entrance to the river Orne and the canal.
The Regelbau 644 is a "Stand with 6-Schartenturm in A".
The stones in front of the monument bear the names of the fallen French commandos of June 6, 1944.
