Rommel visiting the battery.
R671 casemate and a 10.5cm Uto L45. The gun was destined for a U-boat (Uto) but as there were more guns than boats they were channeled down onto the Atlantikwall and into a defensive roll in a casemate.

C'est agréable de voir les voitures des années 1950.

Thank you to Phillippe Lemoine with the suggestion I add some old pictures of Stella Plage.
"I spent all my childhood at Stella beach, every day we passed by the bunkers that were located between the campsite and the beach. We used to hurt our feet all the time because of the hundreds of pieces of barbed wire. Every day we found rifle shells, scrap metal. Unfortunately, no photos... at the time, photographs were rare because it was expensive. the municipal campground was occupied by families of coal mine workers ... Poland peoples came on holiday to Stella, families and children, scouts". Phillippe.
