WN Mole Verclut
This resistance nest lies at the north-eastern part of the channel island Jersey. It defended the St. Catherins bay to the south and Fliquet bay to the north with Widerstandsnest Fliquet and it tower. The bunkers are build inside a rocky hill near the harbor. This was a useful but unfinished strongpoint. The Germans, Organisation Todt, had plans to expand the number of bunkers inside the rock and expand the tunnel system in the rock.
There is a Regelbau 670 for a 10,5 cm Kanone 331 (f), a Tobruk for a machinegun high on top of the rock towards the sea side, beside the French gun there were 2 heavy and one light machine gun, 3 mortars (one 8 cm, 2 French 5 cm. Seven flamethrowers and one 60 cm searchlight.
Inside the rocky hill they excavated a grotto, a Hohlgangsanlage. These military installation tunnels van be found over the whole island. They were used as shelter, storage, of protection for specific machinery like electricity works. In 2022 the grotto is a turbot farm.
