The Dover Strait coastal guns were long-range coastal artillery batteries that were sited on both sides of the English Channel during the Second World War. The British built several gun positions along the coast of Kent, England while the Germans fortified the Pas-de-Calais in occupied France. The Strait of Dover was strategically important because it is the narrowest part of the English channel. Batteries on both sides attacked shipping as well as bombarding the coastal towns and military installations. The German fortifications would be incorporated into the Atlantic Wall which was built between 1942 and 1944.
Au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les canons transmanches étaient des pièces d'artillerie côtière à longue portée, placées sur les côtes de la Manche dans le Kent, en Angleterre et dans le Pas-de-Calais, en France, aux endroits où l'Angleterre est la plus proche de l'Europe continentale. Ils avaient pour objectif de bombarder les navires ennemis dans la Manche ainsi que les villes et les installations militaires.
