Westwall

[TH]

Could be two bunkers, or a bunker with two MGs. (Scratches and screws on the armour and the number on the guns don't match.)

I'm guessing an early B1 bunker, judging the light plate 422P01.

Hi Guys,

I agree with Arthur, here we have a 422Po1 plate.

The 2 MG´s are lying in a "Feldlafette 08" (field mounting) on a wood table- not in the special "Schartenlafette 08" and without the steel "Untersetzkasten".

Hello @ndrew

I think these photo's are from the same model . The photo's are from the book "Unternehmen Westwall"
There were 3 parade floats (1) digging of the eartwork (2) steelwork of the bunker (3) wooden casting
and the concrete pouring . According to the book they were build in Fraulautern and set to transport at
St Ingbert . Would be nice to know were your photo has been taken ??

Hi Jos, hi Andrew!

Maybe, the Modells were shown on the NS- Gautag 1939 in Kaiserslautern?
The buildings look like that.

Hi Jos,
do you have any idea what type it could be?
Looks to me like a 680/612/677.
I believe there were some of these types built at the WW.
Do not precisly know where, if so it would be the first time i saw a picture of it.
Greetings Jack.

Jack take a good look at the Scharte. There's a Panzerplatte for MG and there's an entrance on the side. Looks to me like a 105d or similar bunker. The slab of concrete in front makes it looks like a 680 indeed.

Hi Arthur,
Thats just why i had the thought....
Greetings Jack.
