Widerstandsnest 65, German military bunker in Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, France.

Widerstandsnest 65 is a German defensive position in Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer built from reinforced concrete with a 50mm anti-tank gun installation. The structure commands views over Omaha Beach and the surrounding approach routes.

Kazemat Ruquet formed part of Widerstandsnest 65 (WN-65) in the Easy Red sector of the Atlantic Wall, armed with a 50 mm anti-tank gun. After the Omaha Beach landings, WN-65 was surrounded and the gun destroyed; around 10:30 the twenty Germans inside surrendered, opening Beach-exit E 1. Local commanders then established the first American headquarters there.

A plaque on the bunker, added at the 50th anniversary, commemorates the 467th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Automatic Weapons Battalion, which took part in the attack on the casemate. In front of it stands a monument to the 2nd Infantry Division, a unit that did not itself take part in the assault on WN-65.

You can freely enter the structure and explore its interior spaces. The entrance is located on Rue de la 2ème Division US, allowing you to view the installations and positions at close range.

The 50 mm anti-tank gun still standing inside the bunker is the original weapon destroyed during the assault on WN-65. A plaque added to the bunker at the 50th anniversary commemorates the 467th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Automatic Weapons Battalion, which took part in the attack, while the monument in front honours the 2nd Infantry Division, a unit that did not itself assault the position.
