Wn43 Arromanches-les-Bains
One small Tobruk remains in town centre site
Wn43 site overview
What to see
There is just one concrete construction left to represent WN43 in Arromanches… and even that has been cut in half!
Located on the sea wall on the Quai du Canada you can see the remains of half a Vf58c type machine gun Tobruk. The other half was buried under the promenade.
Wn43 was a small site to be begin with featuring a couple of machine gun posts, the Tobruk, and a 1694-type Ringstand for a 5cm KwK anti-tank gun in an open emplacement.
Today the area is the perfect viewing spot for the remains of the Mulberry Harbour, especially the large platform extension No.449 which rests on the beach in front of the resistance point.
