What is this bunker?
Re: What is this bunker?
Thanks, Jos. Very interesting !
I wonder if the "8,8 cm Flak" shots mentioned could have come from a "Bufla" firing from the top of the hill instead of a regular 8,8 cm Flak gun.

P.S. I forgot to mention that the picture comes from an expired ebay auction.

Re: What is this bunker?
Here a other Ebay picture from concrete exhaust , please note the cammouflage , that did not work .
(1) Lot of these turrets recieved a lot of direct hits , for instance Fort Flemelle was surrended
because the turret ( airventilation ) was badly hit and was no fresh air could be sucked-in .
(2) In the Denkschrift these units were named that attacked the forts in Namur
Pz. Jäger- Abt 211 ( maybe 8.8 cm ) and 1till 3./Res. Flak Abt 363 ( 8.8 cm )

Re: What is this bunker?
Thanks, Jos. I don't think that Pz. Jäger- Abt 211 was equipped with either 8,8 cm Flak (since it was not a Heeres Flak unit ) or Bufla in Mai 1940 as the self-propelled version of Bufla was with schwere Panzer-Jäger-Abteilung 8 and the towed version with s.Panzerjäger-Abteilungen 525 - 560 & 605 (AFAIK).jopaerya wrote:(2) In the Denkschrift these units were named that attacked the forts in Namur

So, it would leave the "regular" 8,8 cm Flak of Res. Flak Abt 363 then to act as surrogate Bunkerflak!

Air tower in 3D
I am trying to make a 3D of this, strange, air intake/exhaust tower of Firt Malonne in Belgium.
But I can't get the stairs and the elevator (Aufzug) in the 220m central tower.
Does anyone have some pictures or better a drawing ?

Re: What is this bunker?
I think it is Russian, so called "Belinsky type" two storey bunker. It was built in Polocki defensive region near village Cernorucje. Only one exemplar was built during 1928. I´ve read that it was demolished in the years before WWII. But it seems, that this photo is wartime (German staff car).
