10M E.Messer and battery

[AvB]

Found these pictures on ebay.
The gun looks familiar to me. Where is this?

[Chazette]

more simple
is M.K.B Gris Nez (Pas de Calais) with 3 x 17 cm SKL/40 and Rangfinder of M.K.B Grosser Kürfurst in back
AC

Yeah that's it. I recognized the 17 cm SKL/40. Didn't know the Leitstand of Grosser Kurfurst was so close.

Hi Arthur,
I think one of the emplacements of the 17cm SKL/40 can bee seen, the path on the cliffs goes over it, but i am not sure, it also could be an emplacement of the older French batteries.
Greetings Jack.

Hello All

The armeroud house on the rangefinder is called Zeiss-Haube ,
I think the other version on this internetsite is the Seydlitz-Haube as
called in the report Ragelbauten der Kriegsmarine .
