Cap Blanc Nez, Pas de Calais, France
Cap Blanc Nez, Pas de Calais, France
Are there any known maps or period photos showing this area and how it was fortified?
I came across the following photo on Bundesarchiv but no more:

Hello
The positions in that area is described very detailed in Alain Chazette´s book "Atlantikwall Mythe ou Réalité" on pages 81 to 114.
Also shows the drawing and map at pages 82 and 103.
I can recomend the book very much to everyone who is interested in the Atlantikwall in France.
Regards
Kurt

Thank you for your time to post those illustrations, particularly the second one.
This is just for a small project and at this point I wont be investing in new books although it's so tempting :\
I came across a couple more photos:
When did this destruction occur?

For a more acurate and complete plan
go and look in the book Wissant from Hervé O , Jorg Poweleit , Dirk Peeters , Yannick Delefosse
There is a much more acirate polan and with no faults in it
I don t know if am allowed to place it here

I read and answered your suggestion last week at the AtlantikWall forum, thank you again. At this point, I wont be investing in more books.

Oh, I build scale models and wish to represent that area as a small diorama. I take great pleasure from the research process and would like to create something accurate and meaningful, taking in account the importance of that section of coast during the early stages of war.
I would like to make it look like this one:

I have other bunker projects if you're interested:

The Dover Patrol Memorial was erected in 1922 and destroyed on the 7th July 1944 by the panicking germans.
The french built a new one in 1962 and it was restored in 2007.

Re: Cap Blanc Nez, Pas de Calais, France
My grandfather Léon De Keyser (Gent - Belgium - 1879-1946) was the architect from the Dover Patrol Memorial. Mister Martiny from Brussels (Belgiuim) was the constructor.
I found in the familyarchives a picture sended by Mr. Martiny to my grandfather with the message "A monsieur L. De Keyser, architecte, au souvenir de notre collaboration - 15.XI.1921"
("To mr L. De Keyser, archtect, in memory of our collaboration - 15.XI.1921 - signed: Martiny (constructor, Brussels").

This should be the W.R. at Blanc Nez after a bomber attack in 1943 , should be a very precise attack
as you can see the housing behind the W.R. is complete gone . Any other idea's ???
Picture = Ebay

Hi Dirk,
Thanks a lot, the W-R foundation is my favorite radar foundation due to the multitude of existing variants:
