Heeres-Küsten-Batterie La Judée "Ostmark"

Heeres-Küsten-Batterie La Judée "Ostmark" was manned by the 5th battery of Artillery Regiment 1709 (5./A.R. 1709) and had four 10,5 cm K 331 (f) being captured French guns from the first world war. (Canon de 105 modèle 1913 Schneider )
There were four R669 (Schartenstand für Feldgeschütze (60°) ohne Nebenräume) bunkers present but still under construction. Thus the guns were still positioned in the surrounding field.
2 bunkers can be viewed from a farmer's road, located at the Hamlet La Judée, the other 2 bunkers
are tucked away on private land.
