Bleriot-Plage, cimetière
AOK 15, KVA C, KV.Gr. Calais, Wn. 92 Maus.

This location can be found in Bleriot-Plage at the southern end of the boulevard that comes from Calais, after Wn. Wildente. The bunkers, a 612 casemate and a attached Vf 2a personnel bunker are in use as a foundation for some beach houses and are closed.

Types:
1x 612 Embrasured emplacement for assault guns without annex room.
1x Vf2a Group shelter.

Bleriot-Plage, plage centre.
AOK 15, KVA C, KV.Gr. Calais, Wn. 79 Otter.

This location is 100m south of Bleriot-Plage, between Wn. Maus and MKB Fort Lapin. The huge command post is clearly visible above the dunes. Around the bunker are several smaller bunkers and buildings situated. The Sk. Command post is very hard to enter. The original entrance is almost covered with sand and the half open steel door does not make it easier to enter the bunker. The bunker has been used to command large batteries like Oldenburg and Lindemann, and it provided information and calculations for the battery Todt and Grosser Kurfürst. The inside of the bunker is in a poor condition, there are a few nice details like some doors and some tiles at the wall. On the beach lie two 612 casemates, one of them has still its steel covering plate on the embrasure. You don't' see that very often on a 612. In the dunes there is a nice Mg. post that is connected with a large living quarter and a double guard post by covered trenches.

Types:
2x 612 Embrasured emplacement for assault guns without annex room.
1x L430A Bunker for 150/200 cm AA searchlight.
1x Wellblech shelter.
1x Vf command post.
1x Vf observation.
1x Fa shelter.
1x Trenches.

Bleriot-Plage, Fort Lapin.
AOK 15, KVA C, KV.Gr. Calais, M.K.B. Fort Lapinn, Stp. 80 Pinguin.

This Stützpunkt is a few meters west of Widerstandsnest Otter, the large casemate is lying on the beach and clearly visible. The casemate, from the type M176, is open, but in a bad condition. In the past there was a second casemate, but that one has disappeared under the sand. When you walk to the other side of the dunes, you will find the old remains of the Fort Lapin. Above one of the entrances is a swastika carved into the concrete together with the year, 1941. The original French fort is from 1860 and you still see its remains. It has probably been used by the Germans during the war. Next to the old fort is another bunker but we couldn't identify it, just like a bunker 10m more inland were you only can see its roof.

Types:
1x M270 Embrasured emplacement.
1x 118c Dressing station, big.
1x Sk Shelter personnel type Marine.
xx Old French fortifications.

Bleriot-Plage, D940 / Chemin de la Française.
AOK 15, KVA C, KV.Gr. Calais, Stp. 81 Qualle.

At the grossing of the D940 and the Chemin de la Française you park your car and walk trough the dunes to the beach.

We identified two 612 casemates covering the beach and a nice, small observation bunker on top of the dunes. Both 612's are almost completely filled with sand.
At the junction towards Coquelles there lies aVf2a personnel bunker. The bunker is open, but filled with water and rubbish.

Types:
2x 612 Embrasured emplacement for assault guns without annex room.
1x Vf2a Group shelter, double.
1x Vf3 MG post.
