The 216th Division gun detachments serving the 15.5 cm captured French guns were to remain with their pieces after the transfer of command until Higher Command ordered their relief. The 323rd, 319th and 216th Infantry Divisions were to report accommodation groups, headquarters down to battalion and detachment level, and coastal-sector boundaries as at 30 April; subsequent changes were to be reported continuously, with map extracts where needed.
