Re: Bunker Id.
Hi Sturm,
I think so, given the IPN iron bars quite hallmark of soviet fortifications.
It could match with this type, in mirrorview.
Best regards

Re: Bunker Id.
Hi Sturm,
it is a Soviet artillery block, probably built 1941. It should be equipped with 76,2 mm fortress guns (L-17 system). The massive armoured embrasures were not instaled. I think it is a line at the northern border. The blocks at the western border (which I know) have straight line of roof and different shape of the walls
By the way, the plan posted by Eax is a western type artillery block. The photo posted by you at 12th of January shows infantry block with machinaguns or 4,5 fortress PAK.

Re: Bunker Id.
Back to the A-wall...
I've found this photo in a large collection 'pre-grafitti-bunkerphotos'; I have no date on when this collection was assembled (but possibly some time before colourphotography became accessible to the main public) and it gives no written information on the locations of the different photos. Although I recognise most of the photos, as the bunkers shown in the photos still stand today... only a bit more withered and coated in grafitti. Based on those bunkers I do recognize (the largest part of the collection), I can tell that all have been taken in between the area starting at Ostend (Belgium) leading up to le platier d'Oye (Nord-pas-de-Calais, France).
Some photos from this collection are unknown to me, which I will upload one by one, not too complicate this topic. As I don't recognize some of these bunkers and I know the region inside out, I guess all of these bunkers have been destroyed or perhaps covered with dunes by now (I hope the last one).
This first one is (according to me) 100% shure to be taken somewhere in the KVA A3 part of Belgium; because the lampposts behind the dunes indicate the bunker was laying parallel to the main coastalroad (also tramway, which follows the entire lenght of the belgian shoreline)... the question is where and on what side off the road?? Also notice the small part of the building on the left which could help to ID the photo and also notice the number written on the bunker; possibly given by the Belgian army in the post-war inventarisation of the bunkers as we see elsewhere (eg.HKB Groenendijk).
my feeling says somewhere near middelkerke/Westende, but I would like to know it's exact location (Stp/Wn) and bunkertype... what do you think?

Re: Bunker Id.
I found these on the Dutch Gelders Archief as Diogenes, but they are not taken there. Could it be a T series?

Nectar thanks a million for sharing.
Since it is a lot of Luftwaffe high brass, my money would be on a Cäsar type like this:
http://www.gyges.dk/Gefechtsstand%20bun ... K%20ny.htm
or this:
http://www.gyges.dk/Gefechtsstand%20bunker%205%20JD.htm
or this:
http://www.gyges.dk/bunker%20Reims.htm
or this:
http://www.gyges.dk/Gefechtsstand%20bunker%20I%20JK.htm
those are the only four we know of for sure and it took five years to find them.
This one could be of a similar type:
http://www.gyges.dk/Gefechtsstand%20bun ... u%20OP.htm
and Jos I think they are Italian visitors, I cannot recognize a single of the German generals hopefully someone can.
