StP Re57/58/120-123

Details

The large deep water port of Brest was large enough to receive battle ships like the Tirpitz. Also a U-boat pen was constructed inside the harbour. That meant that the whole area around the entrance to the Rade de Brest had to be defended. After the attack on the lock gate at St Nazaire the defence was again increased. Kermorvan was the start of the northern defence of the port of Brest and StP Kerlohic is the next one.

As the conditions on the day we visited was so bad all we covered is the Pointe but there are many more bunkers to be found.

This is a plan of the area we covered. First an R601 a garage for an anti-tank gun. The second like an R601 but an SK bunker (Sonderkonstruktion [Special construction]) garage for a search light. At the pointe a double KwK Vf ( "Vf" bunker = [verstärkt Feldmässig]).
