Va08 , Saint-Valéy-en-Caux

I have very little information of Va08, it certainly has some very different bunkers. One an R628 Groupe bunker with forward apron, well thats what one site says was/is it there??

No.4 is down in the fold of the hill and No.7 may have been built over or in a garden. The French army Officers that checked out all the remains in 1946, seem to have missed the other items in the field??

This building is intriguing, it may have nothing to do with Va08 and more to do with a radar, radio guidance, ??

A 1954 picture of this building, it looks as though it did not have a room above. So the steps just take you up to the roof.

A close up of the building, zoomed in it shows they are not windows but are slits. So although not built to normal bunker standards it certainly looks as though its a wartime building, possibly something to do with radar in the area?

The top of the field showing how it runs down the hill, the R628 is down to the left, the R134 is slightly to the right in the field but again down the slope and the R610 is to the right side of the picture in the trees. The Tobruk's seem to cover this area if attacked.
