Hello

Found some picture's on Ebay from the sch.Art.Abt. 740 during the "Westfeldzug" ( 1940 ?? )
are the guns , small picture's ( dunes ), allready the 15 cm K 39 or were there other guns ??

Also found a order from 10-07-1940 that the 15 cm K 39 (mot) should be placed at Cap Griz Nez .

Regards Jos

I think they are 15cm K39 guns but it is difficult to ensure 100%. The image is very small.
I've never seen any pictures of this gun in position with the platform

The only 15 cm K39 battery mentioned in Rudi Rolf's "Der Atlantikwall" is the 14./180 in Blaavand, on the West coast of Denmark with 4 guns. Could that be this location in the dunes then?

No, the 15 cm battery at Blåvand was located further behind the coast.
