    Widerstandsnest 82 (WN 82) is a former German defense position on the Atlantic coast near Grandcamp-Maisy, Normandy.

    Widerstandsnest 82 was armed with a 50 mm gun, which was protected by a casemate. In addition, the position also had a tobruk, with a tank turret on top. WN 82 was west of Pointe du Hoc. As a result, it was not subject to direct attacks. Nevertheless, the position was under fire prior to the landings.

    The cliffs have eroded to the point that the large blockhouse built only in 1941 during the second war fell on the beach
