German Bunker Mers-les-Bains

In 1942, as part of the Atlantic Wall, the German army began construction of a coastal battery in the town of Le Treport, about 25 kilometers north of Dieppe. Built on top of the limestone cliffs north of the town, this battery consisted of four 105mm guns in R671 bunkers. The fire control came from an R636a command bunker. Several vf58c machine-gun bunkers and 612 and R600b anti-tank defense bunkers were also built in the area.
