Research Wn 292 Goldregen at St Léonard near Boulogne-sur-Mer

Hello everyone,

I am looking for measurements and photos of the bunkers (R 621 and L 430A) of the Wn 292 Goldregen at St Léonard near Boulogne-sur-Mer. The bunkers are buried today and I visited the place in February 2018, too late !

Hello everyone,

Thank you very much for your documents ! Beautiful photos and drawing ! Dirk, the R 621 was still opened in 2005 ? Have you got photos of the shelter ?

Hello Dirk,

Thank you ! Beautiful pictures ! I think that the access where you went inside is buried today but I am not sure... The pipe on the roof was for the periscope ?

good luck
ps when you enter it
we forgot two measurings
the periscope from rear wall to left or right wall
and the stove or chimney from the entrance wall
so if you succeeded to enter try to make these please

Hello everyone,

This afternoon, I went to see the bunker. The only access has a height of 15 cm... I closed my eyes, I sliped and... I am into the R 621 ! The ambience was glaucous because there are sofas very damaged in the bedroom... Dirk, sorry, when I saw your post, I had already finished my trip, sorry...
