Stützpunkt Lilie - 117a - Bat.- oder Reg. Gefechtsstand

Le Cochon Noir, Oye-Plage
Hauts-de-France, France

From May 1943, the headquarters of the Second Battalion of the 36th Regiment of the 118th Lufstwaffe Field Division was located in this command bunker. Before that, Battalion II / B (Plehn) of 182nd Reserve Division was located here here in July 1942. In 1943 they had a 37mm anti-tank gun, two mortars and two machine guns. The garrison consisted of 4 officers, 13 NCOs and 42 men. Inside the bunker the doors still are present, something not so common anymore.
