1940 and the Luftwaffe may have found this area a good spot for its radars..
This is an interesting picture, taken in 12-08-1940 Target VI/4 Cap De La Hague/Auderville (neg No.5997). This was August 1940 two months after the British were removed from France and the French Government surrendered to the very victorious German Army. The Germans set something here possibly a new type of radar unknown the the RAF and needed watching.

American Marauder medium bombers carpet bombing the battery of Wn349 Auderville la Roche, Luftwaffe station "Ammer".. Completely missing the radar site.
The picture shows a Marauder with D-Day stripes on its wings, so this picture must be post D-day as the stripes were painted on no earlier than the 4/5 June.

Now this is MY opinion and mine only.
This is a barracks building, maybe not for sleeping in but offices, canteen and kitchen. I have seen this type of building at StP235 Carneville Osteck Luftwaffe Station "Taussendfussler" has one like this.

Not sure what this chute is for??
Possibly for pouring pig swill into a pigsty outside? Guernsey pigsty’s have swill chutes like this.
Mark Page.
Thank you again Mark, probably the swill would have poured out to a receptacle and then taken to the pigsty.
