Redoute de Merville was Built in 1760, under Louis XVI, on the principles of Vauban's fortification, this defensive work was intended to defend Ouistreham and Colleville-sur-Orne to block access to the bay of Orne, during the “Second Hundred Years War” (1690-1815) with the British empire.
It consisted of officers' quarters, a guardhouse for thirty men, including six gunners for the service of a battery of two 24-pounder guns, capable of firing one hundred shots, and a mortar.
The fortification had to fight its fiercest battles during the Revolutionary and Empire wars (1798 and 1807), and was put under heavy naval fire.
The fort would largely be abandoned in 1815, but would still serve as a customs post.
During the German occupation in 1940 the fort was more or les abandoned for over a century, but like many other 18th century forts on the atlantic wall, it would be reused by the Germans and receives its fair share of new concrete fortification.
it's not known to me what happened during the battle and it seems that the Germans just abandoned the position.
