Given the limited resources available to the planners of Fortress Europa, they used whatever material was available. While the French tanks captured in 1940 might be old and no longer battleworthy, their turrets were still useful as beach defences for the Wiederstandneste. Mounted in concrete they are excellent multi-purpose machine-gun bunkers. Turret Barbed Wire Entanglement Bunker Turret Trench Line Minefield The German fortifications in Normandy used R-35 turrets while those in Brittany used Somua or Char B-1 turrets. The small turrets were easy to conceal and often took their would-be attackers completely off guard.

A typical beach defence would have a defence position at each end of the beach with an 8.8cm PaK43 pillbox facing along the beach protected by a 5cm PaK38 pillbox facing back towards it. Both guns were protected from naval gunfire by enfilade walls and any tank moving up the beach to engage one gun would be hit in the rear by the other.
