La llarga platja del Rosselló / Long beach (and some bunkers)

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

Foto presa amb una KMZ FT-2 soviètica, fabricada el 1965; Kodak Ektar 100.

Al mig de la inmensa platja que forma la costa del Rosselló, a la Catalunya Nord, hi han unes isolades restes de la II Guerra Mundial. Es tracta del punt fortificat alemany anomenat LGS 082, o WN LGS 082. Aquest acronim significa Winderstandnest Languedoc Gruppe Sud 082, o Punt de Resistencia 082 del Grup del Sud del Llanguedoc. Estava format per diversos bunkers de personal i sobretot un gran bunker per un canó de defensa costera (tipus Regelbau 612), mirant al sud. Vers el nord, el WN estava resguardat per el riu Aglí.

Aquest bunker de la imatge comptava amb una torreta de tanc reaprofitada, probablement d'un Panzer I o Panzer II.

Obviament mai s'hi va donar cap combat, i ara és un element del patrimoni historic nordcatalà, situat dins el municipi de Torrelles de la Salanca.

===========================================

Panoramic picture taken with a Soviet KMZ FT-2 camera, made in 1965; Kodak Ektar 100 film.

In the middle of the immense beach that forms the Rosselló coast, in Northern Catalonia, there are isolated remains of World War II. It is the German fortified point called LGS 082, or WN LGS 082. This acronym stands for Winderstandnest Languedoc Gruppe Sud 082, or Resistance Point 082 South Languedoc Group. It consisted of several personel & "tobruk" bunkers and especially a large bunker with a field gun, facing south. This type was the Regelbau 612 bunker. To the north, the WN was sheltered by the river Aglí.

This beach bunker was originally equiped with a light tank turret, like a Pz I or Pz II.

Obviously no combat was ever fought here, and now it is an element of the historic heritage of the North of Catalonia, located in the municipality of Torrelles de la Salanca.
