W28, Widerstandsnest 28 – La Crabiere

The two WaKofest type 631 bunkers for the 4,7 Festung PaK K 36(t) are integrated in the anti-tank wall in a flanking position. They cover the beach sideways instead of frontal towards the sea. This position gives them frontal protection from the concrete bunker but while firing sideways they hit the enemies vehicles weaker side which gives them the advantage.

Next to the two PaK stands a single Regelbau 646 water supply bunker at Widerstand La Crabiere.
