Report by C Shepheard of an ‘Atlantic Wall’ built for military training in World War II. The concrete wall measures 3m in height, by 3.5m width, with a total length of 100m, in the centre of which is a 6m wide gap, to be closed by steel gates. The wall shows the results of two explosions, which left gaps of about 3.5m in width. At one end of the wall were originally several types of tank trap. (285, SIHG 79)
