The first sentence of the main description section states that the battery "overlooked the British invasion area of Sword Beach". Looking at the site on the map, it actually appears to be about a mile from the sea - and if the location given on the Sword Beach article is correct it may even be closer to 10 miles away! Using Google's StreetView feature one can't actually see the sea from the site. This would seem not to meet the common or everyday definition of "overlooking" the target! Perhaps a better description would be "it commanded an artillery range encompassing the British invasion area of Sword Beach"? I'm afraid I don't really know the correct military term; I haven't edited the article for this reason, and because I don't know the area. Stroller (talk) 22:37, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
