Les Dunes D'Oye, Le Platier est.
AOK 15, KVA B, Stp. Leo.

Take the road from Grand Fort Philippe (coming from Wn Luise), along the reserve. Take the first road to the right, a small road that leads to a parking. From there follow the path to the right into the dunes (more inland). After a while (15min) you'll see the tobruk with its long corridor. From there you can leave the path (at your own risk and be careful with damaging the vegetation!), the bunkers lie on the right side of the path across the hill.

This location is rather unknown and we haven't found that much information in our sources, but most of the bunkers could be identified although a lot of them have been closed. There are a lot of personnel bunkers, type Vf2a with the high covered entrance and a single room. At the front of the Stp. lies a large St. bunker that most likely is the 506c casemate for a 4.7cm gun that should have been placed at this Stp. At the most eastern side of the location is another bunker for a small calibre gun built. This a light Vf. LAG (Landes Abwehr Geschutz) similar to the one in Wn. Luise. Next to it lies a huge emplacement for a field gun.

The place is hard to visit; lots of vegetation, fences and other obstacles.

Types:
8x Vf2a Group shelter.
1x 506c Casemate for 4.7cm anti-tank gun.
1x 502 502 Twin group bunker.
1x 658 Water supply bunker.
1x Vf casemate for LAG.
1x Gun emplacement.
1x Tobruk for mortar.

Les Dunes D'Oye, Le Platier ouest.
AOK 15, KVA B, Stp. Martha.

Take the road from Grand Fort Philippe (coming from Wn Luise), along the reserve. Take the first road to the right, a small road that leads to a parking. From there walk to the left! (right is for Stp. Leo), after 50m the first bunker lies on your right hand, in the dense bushes. From there just follow the path and you find on the beach the remaining four bunkers.

The first bunker on the right side of the path is a hidden 622 personnel bunker. The second St. bunker is the famous 633 bunker for a 5cm mortar (inside a cupola). This bunker is one of the few remaining species and you can enter the bunker (it is behind a 'broken' fence…). The first 630 Mg. casemate is 20m further from the 633, the bunker is dirty and full with rubbish. On the beach are the two remaining St. bunkers and some lighter works. The beautiful 120 observation bunker lies completely free on the beach, overlooking the sea. Inside the cupola of the 120 you can see how the mechanism of the cupola worked, almost the complete system is still there, a little bit rusty but still nice.

Types:
1x 120 Artillery observation post.
1x 633 Emplacement for M19.
2x 630 Embrasured MG emplacement with armoured plating.
1x 622 Twin group bunker.
1x Tobruk58c.
1x MG post, with couple.
1x Remains.
1x Concrete road.
