Beside the wooden observation towers there must also be a place to convert the data in information for the guns .
So far I could not find any big concrete bunker in Sangatte that could fit , but there is one typical naval bunker build
some more inland viewtopic.php?f=70&t=227500&p=2068156&h ... n#p2068156

I searched the 1946 photo's of Sangatte but I could not find the houses.
It seems a lot of houses were destroyed in the 1944 battles and the cleaning up after the battles.

Interesting to see that the Festungsfernsprecher is water proof!
