Two Ebay picture's from Le Havre , photo 1 looks to me a 5 cm KwK L/60 and photo 2 a 7.62 cm F.K. 295/2 (r) .

The 5 cm KwK L/60 seems to be the one in the Tobruk installed on the north end of Boulevard Albert 1er along the beach.

The 7,62 cm FK295/2(r) has to be a LAG. Any idea about the location?

That was my thought also , but this picture does not fit .

Dear Friends,

The 5 cm KwK L/60 is the one in the Tobruk installed on the north end of Boulevard Albert 1er. The picture is just taken from a different point of view. The house behind is still existing.

The only 7,62 cm FK gun I have been able to find so far mentioned in Le Havre defenses in 1944 was positioned at MKB St Adresse at Le Nice Havrais. It could be the gun on the picture then.

Hello

Picture 2 - is that a part of the harbour (jetty) or such - or is it a bunker?

Picture 3 - is that permanent AA positions / guns for the harbour defence - or onboard a ship?
