Information

Lo312a on the Left of The Bay.

Details

This defence is only one lonely 7.5cm cannon that would have stood out in all weathers until a casemate was built for it.

7.5cm F.K. in the open.

Information

La312a Frehel Port Nieux.

Details

This little port now hardly used at all and is tidal so that it dries out at low tide. The H669 casemate is the large grey concrete in front.

Information

La312a Frehel Port Nieux.

Details

Now a nifty little garage but once a bunker at war with a field gun and crew. A 7.5cm field gun of WW1 vintage, horse drawn and brought out from storage to be re-used. Probably there would have been a small gun detachment of a Sergeant/Corporal and about four men and a half section of defence troops.

Details

The view from the quay. The house would have been the troops billets and they would have used the gun to protect the Baie at high tide from a suspected landing by allied troops.

Information

Salines Vf600v.

Details

We noticed this Vf600 open emplacement for a 5cm KwK A/T gun sitting in the field. I have been through all the books and there seems to be no defence position here but they must have thought there was a blind spot, this gun would have covered the beach & the D786 in both directions.

Plan

5cm KwK Pak L/42.

I am sure the trees would have been cut down so there was more view.
