Single defensive Tobruk guarding road from Sword Beach

Wn19 Colleville sur Orne site overview

What to see
One defensive Tobruk is next to the D60A Rue de la Mer is all that remains today of the Wn19 site north of Colleville-sur-Mer.
It stands between the beachfront bunker sites of Sword Beach landing area and those further inland, specifically Wn16 ‘Morris’ a large gun batterie featuring open emplacements and R669 casemates and the command centre site at Wn17 ‘Hillman’.
The Tobruk – possibly one of two located at this small resistance nest - can be hidden for much of the year as the field it stands in is used for crops.
