La Batterie de Crisbecq, avec ses canons de 21 cm etait la plus puissante sur Utah Beach, disposant d’un panorama de la Pointe du Hoc à Saint Vaast la Hougue. Elle était commandée par sous-lieutenant Walter Ohmsen, fut servie par 297 marins, et protégée par une centaine d’hommes de l’infanterie. Bombardée a partir du 20 avril 1944, cette Batterie reçoit 2800 tonnes de bombes, mais sera encore opérationnelle au matin du 6 juin. Les derniers bombardements auront lieu dans la nuit du 5 au 6 juin, suite à une erreur de repérage, les avions allies bombardent le village de Saint Marcouf de L’lsle a la place de la Batterie. Une bonne partie du village sera détruit, entraînant la mort de 35 civils. A l’aube du 6 juin à 5h52 » Ohmsen donne l ’ordre d’ouvrir le feu sur la flotte alliée qui se présente devant lui, s’entame alors un duel d’artillerie de marine entre la Balterie de Crisbecq et les navires sur les plages d’Utah Beach. Les canons de a Baterie couleront le destroyer USS CORRY, et endommagent aussi plusieurs navires. Aux premières heures du Jour J, des parachutistes américains appartenant au 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment de la 101st Airborne Division prennent d’assaut le site de Crisbecq Le 8 juin, les Américains arrivent devant l’enceinte de la Batterie, les Allemands se retranchent dans leurs abris sous la direction d’Ohmsen qui demande a la Batterie d‘Azeville de tirer sur sa position pour chasser les Américains ,qui se retirent en désordre, profitant de cette confusion, les Allemands les repoussent, faisant alnsi 90 prisonniers. Les 10 et 11 juin, la Batterie de Crisbecq sera soumise encore une fois à plusieurs bombardement, faute d ’effectif, les Américains ne donneront pas l’assaut, c’est alors qu’Ohmsen recevra l’ordre d‘abandonner la Batterie. ll va laisser sur place 21 soldats blesses, ainsi que les prisonniers, ll rejoindra ses lignes avec 78 hommes. Le matin du 12 juin, les Américains donneront l’assaut, mais trouveront la Batterie de Crisbecq vide. www.plagesdu6juin1944.com/accueil/utah/itineraire-n-7/cri...
