Resistance Nest 62, German military bunker in Colleville-sur-Mer, France.
The concrete fortification contains two H669 bunkers, four tobrouks for MG42 machine guns, mortars, and multiple communication posts overlooking Omaha Beach.
Built in spring 1944 following Marshal Rommel's inspection, the bunker faced intense combat during the American D-Day landing on June 6, 1944.
The preserved military installation stands as a memorial site, educating visitors about the Atlantic Wall defense system and World War II events.
The bunker complex remains open for exploration throughout the year, with informational panels explaining the different defensive positions and their functions.
German soldier Heinrich Severloh maintained his position at this bunker until 15:30 on D-Day, becoming the last defender to leave the stronghold.
