Strongpoint Corbière

Strongpoint Corbière currently consists of five German WWII Fortifications found at La Corbière Point. Volunteer members attend to the WWII fortifications & although CIOS members, this is not an officially recognised page. The aim is to preserve and restore these structures to how they would have been operationally during the last year of WWII. The site's 5 bunkers are open to the public at select times, being the two 10.5CM coastal defence gun casemates, the M19 Fortress Mortar bunker, the heavy machine gun sechsscharternturm bunker & the Kanalinsel Nr. 514 Personnel Shelter . The aim is to create a 'working atmosphere', where some of the equipment is usable & you can even aim the original 10.5cm fortress gun or hold & operate deactivated machine guns! Much attention has been paid to the interior fixtures & fittings & the bunkers contain extensive displays showing how the bunkers and weapons operated together with stories about the actual soldiers who served there.
