Tomezzoli Etno-Archaeological Observatory, Munich, Germany Abstract The reading of literature concerning the Atlantic Wall and of the previously published articles may have conveyed the concept that the German military structures of the Atlantic Wall were formed by Regelbauten (rule-built con- structions) (Rs). This concept is not totally wrong, but leads to neglect the important role played by the verstärktenfeldmäßigen Bauwerke (strengthened field constructions) (Vfs) normally included in said structures. The present article, concerning the visit of the site of the WW II German heavy artillery battery of Cleus Foz (Finistère-FR) and the discussion of its organization, show that the Vfs in this battery represented the majority of its bunkers, and in this way indicate how said concept should be corrected.

Introduction The reading of literature concerning the Atlantic Wall (Dupont, 1994) (Chazette, 1995) (Duquesne, 1976) and of previous published articles (Tomezzoli & Mar- zin, 2015) (Tomezzoli & Pottier, 2016a) (Tomezzoli & Pottier, 2016b) (Tomez- zoli, 2017), describing the surviving components of the German military struc- tures of the Atlantic Wall, may have conveyed the concept that they were formed by Regelbauten (rule-built constructions) (Rs). This concept is not totally wrong, but leads to neglect the role played by the verstärktenfeldmäßigen Bauwerke (strengthened field constructions) (Vf) often included in said structures. The Vfs were bunkers of various designs, conceived for resisting to bombs up to 50 kg on the coverage and 105 mm direct impacts on the walls.
