Hankley Common Atlantic Wall


Recommended Posts

Great to see the Atlantic wall in 3D, ..I was there last year, its well hidden in the trees so not very easy to find, its on an MOD training ground but is open to the public,  the huge concrete replica of a section of the Normandy Atlantic Wall was built by Canadian engineers in 1943 on Hankley common, Surrey to experiment what type of explosive charges were needed to breach the wall.  Hankley Common was a top secret training area during ww2, also used to test a lot of Percy Hobarts "funnies"
