Cap d'Antifer (3)

Wasserman radar complex
This location can be found at the coast near the town Bruneval.
Follow the D111a trough Bruneval (south of Cap d'Antifer) and if you reach the shore and the memorial monument, you can take a small path to the top of the cliffs. On top of the cliffs you will find a Vf. observation, further along the cliffs you can find the Wasserman radar complex, the Wasserman bunker, a L480, can't be entered without a ladder.
Several bunkers can be entered but be aware: there are new occupiers of the bunkers and they are even more dangerous, a herd of bulls is now the boss of the complex, they are not aggressive but pay attention to them. Around the complex several tobruks can be found and there is also a huge Vf. bunker for various purpose.
In 1942, British Special Forces were dropped above the complex and they took some important parts of the radar and they brought those parts to England. You will find a memorial monument for this action near the beginning of the path that leads to the top of the cliff.

This battery is located in a field next to the Wasserman radar complex, next to the Lighthouse you can find a Vf. observation, a Wurzburg radar emplacement and several other emplacements and tobruks. The Flak battery consist several emplacements, ammunition bunker, personnel bunkers, a Wurzburg and a Freya radar emplacement. All the bunkers are still in a nice condition and most of them can be entered, you can also see the original entrance of the battery, two concrete blocks were they could put steel bars in so it was closed.

Command post
This command post can be found more inland between the Wasserman radar complex and the Flak battery.
The bunkers lay in a field, some of the bunkers lay on private property and the owner doesn't like bunker visitors but we managed to visit several bunkers that were in the field. We have found a L486, two emplacements and a Wurzburg radar emplacement, there was another bunker that we have found but it was at the private property so we couldn't come near it.
Inside the two emplacements we have found some nice camouflage.
