680/625
Hello All
Does somebody know the function of the recess in the roof above the gun in the 680 and 625 .
It must have a important function because it means a lot of extra work during the buildingphase .

Re: 680/625
Hi Jos,
Is this nomally found in 680's as the 680 on Jersey at Wn. Archirondel does not have this recess in the roof! It's now blocked up but you can see a normal girder/plate ceiling above the gun in the photo.
Regards,
Malcolm

Re: 680/625
hello jos,
I think the ceiling is cut to the passage of a target that exceeds the top of the barrel.
very interesting question I have addressed this idea several times with dirk!

Re: 680/625
hi jos here exemple of this building !!
Re: 680/625
Merci Etienne
Did you also found it in other bunkers then the 625 and 680 , because then it
would mean it had something to do with the PaK guns that were in the bunker .
If you look carefully you can see that the it was placed sometimes on the right
or left side .

Re: 680/625
Same goes for the one and only known R 680 in Norway...as the 680 on Jersey at Wn. Archirondel does not have this recess in the roof!
Do you know what type of gun they used in "yours"?

Re: 680/625
hi jos,
for now I can never find the other bunker equipped with this opening was always 680.625 LAG and change ....
I also noted that the group opened some years ago as a result this change in the roof there is not a bad guy because often LAG chamber is kampfraum change.

Re: 680/625
Hi guys, Maybe it was for the guntube, when a gun was not in use the guntube could be raised and there was more space to move.
On the other hand it could also be for the gun, i can imagine that because there were blocks behind the "legs" that a gun when fired would hop up and the could be damaged, maybe that bit more space could prevent it.
Greetings Jack.

Re: 680/625
hi jack,
agreement, but the window is always top-center then is not for the tube as the barrel is always at the center of kampfraum.
I really think a body cover which attaches to the pack.
