Details

Plan of Va06 showing the casemate covering the road and railway. A Tobruk with a mortar by the railway, several Vf2a´s scattered around and a cable bunker (Kabelbrunnen). Behind the casemate somewhere was a mortar (5cm) in a Tobruk. An FT tank turret in another Tobruk and a second mortar covering the railway line and road. To the western side there was a 5cm KwK in a Ringstand and Vf2a crew bunker. When the allies arrived in Brittany, the road was deliberately damaged to stop access to Quberon. The area only capitulated in April 1944.
