Does anyone know why this bunker has the triangular wall of concrete to the right? It would seem to restrict the field of fire.

The bunker was angled to the right.... giving enfilade fire along the beach. The shoulder you talk about protected the embrasure from the left. Like turning your left shoulder out to protect your face in a fist fight.

Interesting place! I read that the tunnels were rediscovered just in 1997.
