This is WN 44, Arromanches, Normandy. This bunker housed a 4.7cm Pak gun. Seen here the gun room and where it would have been positioned and the remains of Mulberry Harbor offshore. The Germans had a commanding view of Gold Beach on June 6th, 1944. #WW2
This is WN37, Asnelles, Gold Beach, Jig sector - This 677 type bunker had a 8.8 cm (88mm) gun, this deadly menace was responsible for taking out 6 British tanks on D-Day. Battle damage clearly visible & the rear entrance shows the exhaust vent for the guns fumes & gases #WW2
This is WN Luise in the area of Grand Fort-Philippe. Defending the La Fleuve Canal was tasked to Jagerregiment 36/18 Luftwaffenfelddivision. Seen here an 612 still with camouflage, an LAG gun bunker, & the remains of the barbed wire posts, & Tobruk #WW2
This is Trou 08 thus named as it is part of Trouville-sur-Mer. Here facing the port of Le Harve is a 141c type. The home owners on the hill behind have built a nice set of steps leading down to the beach through the broken concrete. The final shot a VF & a 4.7cm Pak bunker #WW2
This is the SK machine gun bunker near the small town of Laffaux & situated less than a mile from Wolfsschlucht 2, the Fuhrer bunker which is located near the town of Margival. The two towns are surrounded by German bunker remains. Camouflage paint & texts are still visible #WW2
This is Wolfsschlucht 2, the Fuhrer bunker, Margival, France. Initially built for planning stages for Operation Seelowe. Hitler visited here on June 17th, 1944 & met with Rommel & Von Runstedt. The site is enormous with many bunker remains & offices for the German high command.
In La Rochelle there is a building that was once the Hotel des Etrangers. Beneath the hotel the Germans built a command bunker for the 3rd U-boat flotilla. Original artwork still adorn the walls of which is now a fabulous museum. A must visit if you are in La Rochelle #WW2
To the east of Bray-Dunes you will find Stp Adolf. Here are some interesting remains. An 637 observation bunker, on OB gun emplacement and when the sands shift amongst the dunes surprises await. This open gun emplacement reveals the azimuth chart for the gunners! #WW2
Stp 166 Saitenspiel MKB Todt located outside of the town of Audinghen, France. Seen here the timeless and elegant beauty of Turm 4, a 380mm shell, a soldier stands guard after it's capture and Turm 1 on a beautiful summers evening. #WW2
This is a Kabelschaltstelle bunker for communications within close proximity to Wn Ameise, Calais & in remarkable condition. This Wn had a 2nd hospital bunker supporting the Oldenburg & MKB Waldam batterie. On private grounds is the SK Sanitatunterstand, featured on another visit
Wn 60 Omaha Beach, you can imagine the view from here on D-Day. Seen here the Vf61a mortar tobruk. Steps leading down, a view of the pedestal and fine detail of the mounting bolts still in place. The 5cm Fest .gr W 210(f) mortar long since gone. #WW2
Stützpunktgruppe Mont St Frieux to the south of Boulogne was one of the most fortified areas in the Pas de Calais region. Stutzpunkt Höhe 158 (west) had a Würzburg radar, observation posts, heavy Flak bunkers, and artillery casemates to protect the flanks of this strategic hill.
This is WN17 code named Hillman by the British and assaulted by the Suffolk Regiment on D-Day. Here the entrance, an 608 bunker, 1 of 2, items found on the site over the years & an open trench, one of many. A great museum to visit during the summer months in Normandy #WW2
This is Stp 05, Franceville Plage West, Normandy. It covered the northern approaches to the River Orne, just east of Sword Beach. Seen here a Vf6a (Beobachtungsstand, splittersicher) for observation. I imagine a very active place during the early hours of June 6th onwards. #WW2
Ladies and Gentlemen, here we go! panzerwrecks.com/product/defend…
This is the remarkable Hochleitstand of Marineküstenbatterie Oye-Plage & manned by 8 Marineartillerieabteilung 204. The Germans disguised it as a church belfry, seen in a post war photo below. The Germans mined the base but failed to demolish it and so it leans to this day #WW2
The Germans heavily protected the port of Brest and the estuary leading into it and its U-boat pens. This is designated as B100. There are six 671 type casemate gun bunkers here as well as other assorted types. These were hard to photo without taking a step off the cliffs edge!
This is Flakstellung "C", Wolfsschlucht 2. It provided Flak defense from allied air attack and it's northern most approaches to the Fuhrer bunker complex. It had 6 10.5cm Flak 38 & 3 x 2cm Flak 30 guns. A well preserved batterie with unique camouflage patterns which still exist.
Then & now Stp 245 Batterie Brommy, Cherbourg, Normandy. Home to the Marineartillerieabteilung 260 & located near the 18th century French Fort de Caplains. Seen here one of the M270 bunkers & it’s 150mm gun, basement and gun mount as it exists today. #WW2

Congratulations to William Spencer @warsmatter who has just passed his PhD viva. Brilliant thesis on use of archives by Falklands veterans in writing memoirs and histories.
In April of 1945, a U.S. 9th Army Ordnance Unit moves thier prize Panther Tank. 🪖 The German tank was knocked out by American forces near Gereonsweiler, Germany. 🇺🇸

A few years ago, 'Secret Listener' Paul Douglas returned to the secret WWII wartime site of Latimer House in Buckinghamshire, where he was stationed, to recall his experiences of bugging the conversations of German Generals and captured POWs.
All that remains of the German Coastal Battery Blucher, Alderney, is a small OP/MG emplacement and a few concrete shelters. The battery was able to shell the Americans on the Cherbourg peninsula following D-Day. It was shelled by HMS Rodney on 12 Aug but little damage was done.
