I visited Le Grand Bunker back in June and it’s well worth a look:
This is outside, along with other interesting items:Le Grand Bunker - Musée du Mur de l'Atlantique is a fascinating museum inside the German bunker at Ouistreham which has been recreated inside to look as it would have done on D-Day. The 52ft high concrete bunker was in charge of the batteries covering the River Orne and the canal and formed a last pocket of resistance when the British troops landed at Sword Beach and took the town. A garrison of German soldiers was held up inside for 3 days after D-Day until Lieutenant Bob Orrell of the Royal Engineers, accompanied by 3 men, blew upon the armoured door with explosives and the garrison surrendered.
Inside the bunker you can see all 6 floors filled with rooms recreated to look as as they were during the war - the generator room, the medical bay, the radio transmissions room, ammunitions store and many others including the observation post with a 360° view over Sword Beach at the top. As the Museum of the Atlantic Wall, there are also lots of photographs and documents about the creation of the Atlantic Wall and beach defences, the artillery and the observation posts.
