Wn334 St Remy des Landes Map 1212E GPS 49.2884N 001.6775W
To the south of Denneville is St Remy des Landes which stands at the mouth of the ancient natural port, known as Havre se Surville.
Although by the time of the occupation the port had mostly silted up and was of no real use.
The Atlantic Wall in this part of Normandy was almost non existent with no gun emplacements between Carteret and Granville.
Although the threat of any attack this far south was minuscule the Germans installed a “Strong Point” at this and many other locations along this stretch of coastline.
It should also be remembered that guns sited on Jersey could also cover the waters between the Channel Islands and the Normandy Coast.
Non of these strong points were the same and the installation here comprised of two Tobruks fitted with machine guns, both having small ammunition bunkers a short distance away, connected by zig zag trenches. Traces of these trenches can still be found.
There may also have been anti aircraft guns here although no trace can be found today.
