Omaha Beach – Dog 1 Exit, Dog Green sector, Vierville-sur-Mer, Normandy.
WN or Widerstandsnest 72 is part of the Atlantic Wall. Together with WN 71 and WN 73 it guarded the Dog-1 exit towards Vierville-sur-mer. They were built in 1943-44 . These three German Widerstandsneste are situated in the Dog Green sector which saw some of the heaviest fighting in the morning of june 6, 1944. WN72 was the most formidable of the three; a H-667 type casemates (nowadays with the National Guard monument on top of it) housed a formidable 88 mm. PAK43 gun. (It’s still there) and dominated the beach . To it’s right is a second casemate which housed a 50mm. gun and a small Renault FT tank turret . Both casemates were guarded from fire from the sea and have gun positions enfilading the beach, their muzzle flashes not visible from the sea. In june 1944 these bunkers were protected by barbed wire, minefields and trenches. The hill behind also had several strongpoints of WN 71. An observation post was situated just below the bungalow halfway up the hill and nine MG positions , two mortar positions and a light fieldgun were on top of the bluffs over a stretch of some 200 metres. To top it off an anti-tank wall 2 metres high was erected between the (left) bunker and the road to block any vehicle. To the east WN73 dominated the bluffs overlooking both Charlie and Dog Green sectors, also with 50mm guns and MG and mortar positions.
Map Description:
A 1:1 Realistic Remake of the D-1 Draw at Dog Green Sector in Omaha Beach, D Day. The CTB Machinima team has recreated the town of Vierville-Sur-Mer (Vierville by the sea, WN 71 and 72, The landing beaches, and the Church of Vierville, as well as a fictional supply camp. Apart from the supply camp, the map is 100% historically accurate.
