On the higher remparts of the Fort du Homet you can see the two 7.5 cm K.M. 08 (f) , I know
these guns were placed before W.W. 2 and from photo evidence I have seen the guns are
still there now a days . I have never read anything on the use of these guns during the W.W. 2
who has any information about that ??

A photo taken just after the liberation of Cherbourg, you can see the typical tipp of
the barrel of the 7.5 cm (f) gun on the upper remparts of the Fort Homet .

Nice pics!
those fortresses of cherbourg are for a long time on my to-do list... not only Atlantikwall but also the old fortresses are my interest-territory.

Here the fort from the inside, on the top left you can see a part of one of the gun emplacements.
