The WWII German Base of Bro Fez (Finistère—FR)

The map Flughafenbereich Morlaix-Flugplätze und Ln Anlagen among some WWII German military bases in South Finistère (FR) studied in past publications and other not yet studied, discloses the German air-naval base of Lanveoc-Poulmic on the Crozon Peninsula. The presence of a Luftwaffe base at Bro Fez (Bronfez, Profez) near said base was signaled to me by Mr. Fleuridas. In this article, the surviving components of the Bro Fez base have been presented, investigated, discussed and a more certain legal status and cultural recovery of the site is suggested. It was thanks to an inhabitant of Bro Fez that important details of the base were clarified. The nature of the Bro Fez base as a jamming signal base or a Luftwaffe radar base with annexed FuSZ remains to be clarified. In addition, the map shows the presence of FMa20 near Guipavas, FMa21 at the Ouessant Island and FMa23 at Le Conquet possible subjects for further studies.

Abstract

The map Flughafenbereich Morlaix-Flugplätze und Ln Anlagen among some WWII German military bases in South Finistère (FR) studied in past publications and other not yet studied, discloses the German air-naval base of Lanveoc-Poulmic on the Crozon Peninsula. The presence of a Luftwaffe base at Bro Fez (Bronfez, Profez) near said base was signaled to me by Mr. Fleuridas. In this article, the surviving components of the Bro Fez base have been presented, investigated, discussed and a more certain legal status and cultural recovery of the site is suggested. It was thanks to an inhabitant of Bro Fez that important details of the base were clarified. The nature of the Bro Fez base as a jamming signal base or a Luftwaffe radar base with annexed FuSZ remains to be clarified. In addition, the map shows the presence of FMa20 near Guipavas, FMa21 at the Ouessant Island and FMa23 at Le Conquet possible subjects for further studies.
