Sortosville-Beaumont.
AOK 7, KVA J1, KV.Gr. Periers, KVU Gr. Jobourg, Luftwaffe Station K10 E-werk Knickebein.

Drive from Barneville-Carteret over the D902 towards Bricquebec and you will pass the village Sortoville-Beaumont. The location of this Luftwaffe Station is now a days easy to find because on the K10 terrain some modern windmills are standing that you can spot easily from far away.

The bunker is open and there is even a sign telling you about the history of the location. One of the entrances is decorated with a German eagle and is still hanging above the door. The building is very special and most of the rooms a decorated with tiles. In the concrete floors cable lines been held free in gutters because of the many cables coming from the radar antennas to the equipment inside.
On top of the bunker are several big air-openings standing to supply the equipment inside of sufficient cooling air. You can still see in the terrain behind the bunker some antenna anchors in the meadow. In the meadow to the left is the location where the Knickebein FuSAn 721 antenna was standing. The central pivot is still there and around this pivot is a circle of about 10mtr where you still can see where it was turning around, because the grass still doesn't grow here properly.
