Blockaus Le Hourdel II

            The Hourdel blockhouse is a military structure located on the coast of the Baie de Somme, in the Somme department in France. It is a rectangular reinforced concrete building, approximately 12 meters long by 5 meters wide and 4 meters high.

The blockhouse was built during World War II by German forces to protect the coast against a possible Allied invasion. It is located on Hourdel beach, a few kilometers south of the town of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme.

The building is a single room, with thick walls and narrow openings for defense. Loopholes are also present on the walls to allow soldiers to open fire on enemies. The roof of the blockhouse is flat and reinforced to allow the placement of heavy weapons.

Le blockhaus du Hourdel est un ouvrage militaire situé sur la côte de la Baie de Somme, dans le département de la Somme en France. Il s'agit d'un bâtiment en béton armé de forme rectangulaire, d'environ 12 mètres de long sur 5 mètres de large et 4 mètres de hauteur.

Le blockhaus a été construit pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale par les forces allemandes pour protéger la côte contre une éventuelle invasion alliée. Il est situé sur la plage du Hourdel, à quelques kilomètres au sud de la ville de Saint-Valery-sur-Somme.

Le bâtiment est composé d'une seule pièce, avec des murs épais et des ouvertures étroites pour permettre la défense. Des meurtrières sont également présentes sur les murs pour permettre aux soldats d'ouvrir le feu sur les ennemis. Le toit du blockhaus est plat et renforcé pour permettre la mise en place d'armes lourdes.
