Calais, city-inland
AOK 15, KVA C, KV.Gr. Calais, Festung Calais, Wn. 58 Fanny, Bastion V.

Along the Rue d'Haguenau, one of the main roads leading in and out the city of Calais, lays a former French Bastion.
On the piece of land beside the road are several bunkers made by the French before the war. You can see that the German's re-used them by making some additional concrete works at the entrance. They also placed some new smaller and bigger bunkers. At the water side, on both sides, are unknown pieces of concrete to find, maybe some one can inform us if it is German or some after-war utility work.

Types:
5x French bunkers/shelters.
1x Tobruk Vf67 for tank turret.
1x Tobruk for tank turret.
1x Building, canteen or else?
1x Unknown, concrete water barrier?
1x Toilet remains?

In the city park St. Piere, just opposite the nice and big Calais town hall, is the location for this SK-bunker (Sonder Kontruction) for the "Hafenkommandant, HaKo" of the harbour of Calais.
It's a very big bunker with some special shapes, corners and extra doors for facility's. Now a days it's a Atlantikwall Museum.

Calais, city-inland, Calais Nieulay.
AOK 15, KVA C, KV.Gr. Calais, Festung Calais, Stp. 89 Fulda, Dom-bunker.

This bunker can be found west of Calais, near the Fort Nieulay.
If you come from Calais and drive in the direction of the small village Coquelles you see the bunkers on the terrain of a major car distribution centre. We have asked for permission to enter the bunkers, but that was not possible because they were still using them.
The large bunker is a shelter for a railway-gun. Those huge guns were used to fire at the coast of England, in the beginning of the war. They were supposed to support the invasion of England (operation Seelöwe) by the Germans, but later on they became a part of the Atlantikwall. Next to the large bunker stands another bunker., It was mend to store ammunition. The smallest bunker could be for the personnel, but we are not sure about that.
All the bunkers that were built to protect the railway-guns (3 in total) had the name Dom bunker, this is because they looked like a Dom. The word Dom is original from the German language and means church/cathedral.

Types:
1x Dom-bunker.
1x Sk ammunition bunker.
1x Sk personnel bunker.
