Hello All

Found this on Google Earth , could this be the location of the 3 Sicherungsdivision at Chateau de Rongouël ?
From mai 1941 till april 1942 at Brest and then to Nostang and after the invasion the H.Q. was settled in
the command bunkers at Kerneval .

Your question mark is a deserted tennis court. :wink:

There was something else in the Woods. But it looks more like another old building.

Yes on old maps it's only Chateau near Nostang.

Also found this: "Réquisitionné par la Kriegsmarine en avril 1942, l'édifice est bombardé le 22 juillet 1944 par l'aviation alliée. Le lendemain un incendie achève la destruction du château, qui ne sera pas reconstruit, les dommages de guerres s'avérant insuffisants."

Hello Friends,

As far I know it is a KM unit that was settled this castle. French resistance signaled a infantery unit stationned in the vicinity of Nostang with about 180 soliders, operating daily, with low spirit. It fits more with Sicherungtruppen in my opinion. Howerver I have no further infomations about the exact location.

Regards
