German WW2 Bunker for WN116 Rochers de Franguet
Regelbau 612 bunker for cannons from 75mm to 10.5mm with no shelter
This example is badly beaten by the tides. It has a brick like camo pattern made in the concrete.
An American shell fired from one of the battleships hit the casemate sideways at the bottom.
