Anyhoo, more importantly, over my left shoulder is Exit-Draw 1. Which was covered by Widerstandsnest (WN) 71.

This emplacement housed an 88mm gun which is still in place today. you can also see the anti-tank wall that crossed the road to the left. Today the bunker is topped with a monument to the national guard.

This emplacement housed a 37mm gun that could be switched to fire on Charlie Sector to its rear, you can see the firing slit through the opening and what looks like a barrage balloon on top of the bunker. There is also a tobruk for an MG on top of this site, which now has a garage built onto the rear.
