The Wn 100 strongpoint, also coded Wn 1 by the Germans, is placed under the control of Leutnant Rohweder (2nd company of the 919th Infantry Regiment: 2./919). Its mission is to prohibit maritime access to the Canal de Carentan, from its position south of the Grand Vey bench in the Veys Bay. Its centerpiece is a 75 mm gun under casemate type Regelbau H612. A French 37 mm R35 tank turret is also in place, on top of a concrete shelter. All the elements of the site are connected by a network of trenches.
