Hi Sturm 78,

thank You very much for posting this for me very interesting pic. It is not Brückengerät A, but Brückengerät T, the captured Czechslovakian bridge building equiment. Here pics with pontoons of both bridge building equipment (source: expired ebay auctions).

Best regards

Bert

Hi Sturm 78,

to Your question about the small bridge: I have never seen such a bridge before. So I think that it cannot be a standard equipment.

Best regards

Bert

Some Equipment B (I think) on the beach at Le Havre, France, probably left over from Operation Seeloewe's training exercizes. :idea:
