ABSTRACT: During the WWII the Organisation Todt constructed in behalf of the Wehrmacht (German Army), Luftwaffe (German Air Force) and Kriegsmarine (German War Fleet) many military structures for the defence of the Festung (Fortress) Saint-Malo (Brittany, France). A previous article (Tomezzoli & Pottier, 2016) presented military structures for the east side defence of the Festung and their preservation state. This article presents other military structures, in some case completely disappeared, for the defence of the city port and the south-west side of the Festung. Their historical, military interest and their actual preservation state are analysed.
