"Specialising In Military History Memories"
A remaining bunker from Hitlers infamous Atlantic Wall; one of many that still stand derelict and silent along the north coast of France. This one was part of the Calais- Boulogne coastal region and formed one of the strongest defensive areas to repel the expected allied invasion in that area, but of course Normandy was chosen, fortuitously a weaker defended area by comparison. The gun emplacement shown above is at Berck-sur-Mer, oddly enough it now marks the entrance to the designated Naturist Beach; something Hitler's Generals could never have foreseen!
