ABSTRACT: This article aims to give value to the passionate researchers which, with their search on the field, discovered the rests, nowadays disappeared, of the Y-Peiler Atlantik II. After having evocated the historical situation of Penmac’h (Finistère) during the WWII and the Penmarc’h German military installations, the article evocates the details of the discovery of the Atlantik II rests and their characteristics. The Atlantik I and Atlantik II similarities are discussed and a possible vision of the Pointe de Penmarc’h during the WWII with the radar FuMO 3 superimposed on the Vieux Phare is proposed. It is hoped that this article can form the basis for further studies on Atlantik II and the historical situation of Penmarc’h during the WWII.
