The German <i>Stutzpunkt</i> Kerloich (Le Conquet-FR)

Abstract

The German Stutzpunkt (Stp) Kerloich on the Pointe des Renards near Le Conquet (Brittany-France) is one of the most mysterious sites of the Atlantic Wall ever explored before. Many of its components, indicated in literature, disappeared although no evidence of demolitions or destructions during or after the WWII is apparent. Some components, unknown in literature, have been discovered by analysing after WWII French aerial reconnaissance images. Different sources contradict each other about the radar systems on the Pointe during the WWII. The present article summarizes the knowledge and the lack of knowledge concerning the Stp Kerloich waiting for further evidences permitting to solve all the open issues.
