Situated on the D940 in woodland to the east. Very hard to photograph but better seen by the eyes. If you like .

With the aerodrome on your left, the wood is on the right, as you see its quite thick and I am not sure if you can enter the area or not?.

Unfortunately this plan may pre date StP La Folie so I have added red dots to show where the bunkers are and another slightly south. The blue square is the aerodrome.

Kabelbbrunnen as you see in good camouflage.
These cable bunkers were a string of connections between the network of communication cables. Radio could be listened into and codes could be broken. By using telephones there was no need for codes and the enemy could not listen in.
The Germans did use the civilian telephone network but also had their own system. When D-day started the French resistance cut the German cables all over France and on many occasions disrupted German communications and thus making them relent on radios which the Allies had managed to break most of their codes. A double whammy.
