Re: Maginot Line bunkers
The location is near Montherme.

Wacht am Maas…
More precisely it is Fumay, between Givet/Dinant and Monthermé. It was the last position at the west side of the Meuse (between Dinant and Sedan) to fall into German hands (1. Gerbirgs-Division*), the 15th May, without fight (French — 61e division d'infanterie — were gone during the day).
*I don't know recognize uniforms, is it a Gerbirgsjäger on the picture ?
Sorry for my poor english.

Re: Maginot Line bunkers
The first bunker is unknown to me but the second is not a Maginot artillery block but from the shape of the embrasures is a 100 mm Artillery block of the Czech Benes line. It was built but not armed as the guns had not been completed. From the shape of the embrasures of the first bunker I would more toward it being Czech also.

Re: Maginot Line bunkers
Hello,
the first photo is not czechoslovak casemate. I do not know if it is french or somebody's else.
On the second photo is czechoslovak artillery casemate K-Bg-S 11. It was part of fort Horka and as mentioned by Roland it was without its 100mm howitzers. The crew instead had battery of three 7.5 cm mountain guns vz. 15 placed in front of casemate.
