Hello Ualexj
The upper photo on your map must be taken at M.Fl.B. Nordmole and as you know the
last photo the M.Fl.B. Lehmberg , the black and white photo is a 12.8 cm Flak 40 M .
Regards Jos
P.S. If you have more photo's of the flakbettungen I am very interested .

"Schweinsrücken" battery from Klaipeda (Memel) was transferred to Tallinn (Reval) in March 1943 (arrival reported 28.03.1943) and incorporated as 8th battery into Marine-Flak-Abteilung 711. Reported battle-ready on next day.
Does somebody know more details?

FlaK 40 barrel found in Giruliai
Hello!
A little news. A week ago in 'Batterie Försterei' (gallery) two history enthusiasts found a barrel from 12.8 cm FlaK 40, about 1.5 m deep in sand near one of the positions. It is in quite a good condition. See map below:
Here are two articles in Lithuanian language, but there is no interesting information - only a few images:
Articel 1 (Title: German cannon found in Giruliai)
Article 2 (Title: War "games" guided to Nazi heritage)
Sorry, I don't have photos of barrel itself...

Hello
I put some pictures with this cannon. Also, I put a few more shots with this gun parts, which were found separately, but the near gun. We are they get a more parts, but they are small and anonymous.
and so here are some pictures of gun parts:
maybe someone could tell exactly from that place this last part
