“…The original internal furniture disappeared and the thermal insulation material on the walls of the fire rooms were either never installed or disappeared. The gates of the combat gas extraction system disappeared, letting visible the interior of the air intakes of the system (Tomezzoli & Pottier, 2016). The Vf observation bunker and the tobruck stand 58c were not localised.…”

“…177, Ra 157 was composed by four bunkers R669 without annexed rooms. The absence of a fire direction bunker near the bunkers R669, as in the case of the Kullak battery (Tomezzoli, 2016), let to think that the battery fire was directed by an observatory bunker located somewhere else.…”

“…

During the WWII the Organisation Todt constructed in behalf of the Wehrmacht (German Army), Luftwaffe (German Air Force) and Kriegsmarine (German War Fleet) many military structures for the defence of the Festung (Fortress) Saint-Malo (Brittany, France). A previous article (Tomezzoli & Pottier, 2016) presented military structures for the east side defence of the Festung and their preservation state. This article presents other military structures, in some case completely disappeared, for the defence of the city port and the south-west side of the Festung.

In order to prevent a possible allied landing on the Grève de Goulven, the Organization Todt prepared for the Wehrmacht (German Army), in the frame of the Atlantikwall, many military structures crewed in a close defence line formed by Wn,s. close around the Grève and in a far defence line formed by St.P.s for directing and supporting the fire of the Wn.s. Purpose of this article is to identify said military structures and investigate their preservation state. The lack of an allied landing in the Grève and the prompt retreat, on 6-8 August 1944, of the German troops inside the Festung Brest, upon the arrival of the US Army, provided a unique occasion to visit German military structure practically intact, and had a unique occasion for investigating these structures, their preservation state and the interaction of the today's population with them.

The reading of literature concerning the Atlantic Wall and of the previously published articles may have conveyed the concept that the German military structures of the Atlantic Wall were formed by Regelbauten (rule-built constructions) (Rs). This concept is not totally wrong, but leads to neglect the important role played by the verstärktenfeldmäßigen Bauwerke (strengthened field constructions) (Vfs) normally included in said structures. The present article, concerning the visit of the site of the WW II German heavy artillery battery of Cleus Foz (Finistère-FR) and the discussion of its organization, show that the Vfs in this battery represented the majority of its bunkers, and in this way indicate how said concept should be corrected.
