Widerstandsnest 60, German defense bunker in Omaha Beach, Normandy, France

The Widerstandsnest 60 bunker stands on a bluff overlooking Omaha Beach, featuring reinforced concrete walls and strategic firing positions toward the coastline.

Military history researchers and World War II specialists regularly examine this bunker to study German defensive strategies during the D-Day operations.

Visitors can reach the bunker site through marked paths from Collville-sur-Mer, with guided tours available during spring and summer seasons.

The bunker retains original elements of its military architecture, including observation posts and gun emplacements positioned at 49.35668° latitude and -0.83208° longitude.
