St. Vaast, Port de St. Vaast.
AOK 7, KVA J1, KV.Gr. Cotentin Ost, KVU.Gr. Barfleur, Port de St. Vaast, Stp 111.

Close to the harbour of St. Vaast, you will find two bunkers next to a nice old church.
One is in front of the church and is at the current moment the monument for the victims of the war and therefore decorated on top. It is one of three Sk-bunkers left at this location. You can see it is a special one because of its two Tobruks integrated in the main structure. Look also for the little sign made into the concrete of the building…..!
Next to the church stands a 667 bunker with a view over the harbour entrance.
At the other side, into the direction of the La Hougue fort, at the beginning of the breakwater there are a Tobruk and a Vf shelter close to the houses.

Types:
1x 667 Small embrasured emplacement for 5cm tank gun.
1x Sk Standiger bunker.
1x Tobruk58c.
1x Vf MG post.
