After the German conquest of France in June 1940, they set up a large number of guns in the Calais area, perhaps in preparation for the planned attack on England (Operation Seelowe) or just to close the English Channel for Allied Ships. At Oye-Plage, between Calais and Dunkerque, the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) installed modern 210 mm. guns. These had a range of 33 km. which was enough to engage targets throughout the northern end of the Channel.
