German strongpoints in Normandy
The Atlantic Wall in Normandy
« Wn » is the German abbreviation of Wiederstandnest, which literally means « nest of resistance ». In military terms, this is a strongpoint. This page allows you to discover the different strongpoints of the Atlantic Wall, between the mouth of the Orne to the east and La Hougue in the Cotentin Peninsula to the west.
Some strongsupport were strengthened and thus were supposed to play a more important role: they are known as Stützpunkten, which abbreviation is: « Stp ».
