German navigation station in Saint Martin aux Buneaux,France
German navigation station in Saint Martin aux Buneaux,France
Dear members,
This is some pictures taken last week end in Saint-Martin-aux-Buneaux, Normandie (East of Fecamp). Here was located a German navigation station (Y gerat I think) during the war. Some bunker are now covered with earth, but most of them are very interesting. Especially the flak bunker with concrete doors ! The design is anyway strange in my opinion : it look like Kriegsmarine design.
Best regards,
Sébastien HAULE

Hello Sébastien.
Very interesting site !! Do you know more about it ??
What was it designated for, because Y - Gerät and Kriegsmarine - does that not sound strange ??
Could it be a Luftwaffe position - do you have any other pictures of the other bunkers ??
Would very much like to know more about this site, because the area are most interesting to me.

Hi All
I have seen the bettung before it was along
time ago and I don't were the foto has been taken
but I know there were 4 of these bettungen with
concrete doors. ( Dieppe area )
They were made of brick and concrete.
For the Y-Fu. Nav.Anlage at St Valery en Caux was
called Cicero Y 3 .

Hi,

Hi Jos,
Do you know exactly where Cicero is located??
We are going there with Christmas to look for bunkers.
You say St. Valery en Caux but where precise?
