Re: S-boot bunker at Cherbourg
There were actually two S-Bunkers in Cherbourg:
- one in the "Forme Cachin", seen on the first picture of this post, which no longer exists
- one in "Bassin Napoleon IIi" which still exists but is located inside the Navy base:
(German propaganda picture displayed in France and mentioning a U-Boot base instead of S-Boot)

Re: A U-boot next to the S-bunker at Cherbourg
A U-Boot in Cherbourg next to the S-Bunker still existing today in Bassin Napoleon III! I believe it is a type XXI.
No, this is not a scoop …. but a picture from 1947 . This submarine was on loan from the Royal Navy.

A more recent picture of two French subs in Bassin Napoléon III. The S-Bunker is visible in the background:

The first picture of these two shows the remains of the Erika station at St-Pierre-Eglise.
The 2nd picture shows the French firing control post at Fort de l'Ouest in Cherbourg harbor.
