Wn30 Granville South Map 1215 ET GPS 48.7584N 001.5725W
To protect the beach which runs south from Granville through St Pair, Kairon
Plage, Jullouville and Carolles Plage the Todt build three casemates. Strangely
they all face north. The first is a type 667 just north of Kairon Plage, this
type of casemate usually housed a 50 mm cannon. At the southern end of this long
beach at Carolles Plage the flat beach gives way to cliffs and high on the
cliffs two 612 casemates sit together still looking out over the beach. Some
distance behind is a double personnel bunker type 522/622 which has a small
garage type bunker attached. It is too small to house a gun or searchlight, and
there is no visible ramp to wheel out whatever was kept in the garage. It could
possibly have been for a generator as this position was some distance from the
village. These positions were the most southerly in Normandy.
