The main commandpost of V. Marine Flak Brigade at St Marc was housed in a
Fl 250, a so called "Flakgruppenkommandostand". The Flak batteries were manned by four
Marine Flakabteilungen (Navy AA-battalions):
-- 703, La Vecquerie,
-- 705, Montoir de Bretagne,
-- 809, St Brévin,
-- 820, St Nazaire city, at the school in St Louis.
The light AA battalion 820 had small caliber guns and were spread out over the entire area.
Each other heavy battalion had a searchlight battery. Searchlights were placed at a distance
of approx 3 km from the main batteries.
The datasheet gives a review on organisation, armament, location and codenames.
A total of 72 anti-aircraftguns with a caliber of 10,5 or 12,8 cm were placed in
the Festung St Nazaire.
