Now we are on the Corniche Road looking down on just the mid section of the huge reinforced concrete structure built by the occupying German military starting in 1940 or early 1941.  For more on these German submarine bases built during WW II, check out this Wikipedia page.  We highly recommend watching this 2 minute YouTube video that gives an old WW II newsreel reporting on the "bombing of the U-Boat pens in Brest".
