French coastal defense duty

#1

Which branch(es) had responsibility for static coastal defense and security along the French coast? I've seen numerous uniforms represented among the German occupation troops, but am wondering which branch had this duty assigned. Some of the few pictures from the aftermath of the St. Nazaire Raid show what looks like KM, Heer and maybe German Police.
Thanks,
Pat
