Extrait
And the same Asociacion notes that the units defending the fortified redoubts in Royan and Pointe de Grave: “… were manned by so-called FESTA (short for Festung ..) units … It fell to these to mount a defence (…) on 18 April 1945 when , having forced a passage through the outer rim, the Carnot Brigade arrived at the anti-tank ditch in Soulac-sur-mer.”
In the sector where the Libertad and Gernika battalions would operating, Captain Fuchs’s Soulac-sur-Mer-based Festa LXXX was dug in. South of it there was Captain Portzold’s battalion of fusiliers with its command post in Grayan and there was also the ‘Narvik’ naval battalion based in Saint-Vivien-de-Medoc.
The Asociación’s Facebook page also states that the latter were regarded by French historians as “elite troops always placed in the forward positions and who fought to the bitter end.” Their core was made up of the 536 survivors from the Z24 destroyer and T24 torpedo boat sunk on 24 August 1944 by Allied aircraft while setting out from Verdon-sur-Mer port. Those troops became the Narvik battalion which deployed two companies and a reserve unit made up of young sailors under the command of corvette Captain Birnbacher.
Birnbacher refused to surrender – even though he had had a message from his superior, Colonel Prahl, asking for an end to the fighting and he kept up dogged resistance from bunker S305 into which he had retreated with his men. In the end he surrendered after heroic fighting.
The commanders of the German garrison were, one after the other, General Fritz Meyer, a Russian Front veteran an knight of the iron cross with oak leaf cluster; when he took ill, he was replaced in November 1944 by Colonel Christian Sonntag who would die in March the following year when a grenade blew him up; his replacement was Colonel Prahl, commander of the 582nd Grenadiers Regiment (Jersey) who was in charge of the fortress right up until operations ceased.
