Atlantikwall - Widerstandsnest Et 05

This German strongpoint was built during the Second World War as part of the Atlantic Wall.

Sites for machine guns and for a 50 Kwk gun had been dug into the cliff itself to protect the entire beach access area, which was otherwise littered with various obstacles and other minor defenses.
All these works are gone, demolished or sealed, to rehabilitate the waterfront promenade, and/or prevent accidents.
