Abstract
Although the information about the German military presence in the sector of Ploumoguer (Finistère-FR) during the German Occupation of France (June 1940 - November 1944) is rather fragmentary, it resulted sufficient for identifying the most important military structures still present. They included the Stp (Stutzpunkt-Support Point) Re 80 at La Villeneuve-Suernevez, the Stp Re 311-FuMB 445 at Kervélédan, the Stp Re 77 at Kérigoarn-Kerizauen and the Stp Re 79 at Kergounan. The visits on the sites permitted to ascertain the preservations state of their Regelbauten (rule-built constructions) and verstärkten feldmäβigen Bauwerke (strengthened field constructions) (Vf). The role of the witnesses, already highlighted in previous publications, aided a lot also in this case for identifying and exploring components of said structures and so to complete the frame of the WWII German defence structures around Ploumoguer.

Tomezzoli by Regelbauten (R) and verstärkten feldmäßigen Bauwerke (Vf), some of them were already described in precedent publications (Tomezzoli, 2017a; Tomezzoli, 2017b)
The Stp Re 80, about 2 km far from Ploumoguer, comprised a heavy artillery battery formed by four R 669 and a Vf (Figures 2-7)
