I like this one too : The D-day Landing Beaches: The Guide
 by George Bernage. A lot of maps, bunkers type and positions

Does anyone know of a detailed scale plan of strongpoint "Cod" (WN 20) on Sword, Queen Red Beach. According to the Osprey book refered to earlier it consisted of an 88mm in a H677 bunker and x 3 50mm pedestal guns (in Vf600's ?)

This is what I am looking at, at the moment. the Vf600's I think are open concrete pits. The H677 I am working on at the moment. I will give you more details on the VF600's when I get home tonight.

Hi Sorry, not able to find any thing on the Vf600 but I still think they were in open gun pits
