Hello Eax-E

I have tried in the past to visit the U-boatpens inside as many others ,
but didn't recieve permission because I was a foreigner , so I think not
many people outside France visit the U boatpens inside .

Hi,
KIV is used by a private company, I asked the permission to visit directly to the employees, who allowed it me.
For KI, KII and KIII it's actually more complicated, even for french Bunkerfans..

Hi,
The official guided tour do exist, but it quite disappointing...It's mainly the roof, the thechnical parts and defense parts of the bunker are not visited during this very brief tour !

Hi Malcolm,
I think it is a markerpole that with other markerpoles to locate the minefields on the island.

Correct JKernwerk :milsmile: But do you know why the F.1 is in Italic text?

BTW this mine field marker is one of 2 at Stp. Corbiere which are officially listed/protected structures 8-)
