Re: Todt or Friedrich August ??
Hello
I cant make it fit Friederich August? Not from the position the picture is taken - on the map for the battery there are no positions in that direction from the gunbunkers?
I would go for Batterie Todt - turm 4 - but what is the position from where the picture is taken?
Is it the Leitstand or a flakposition? It seems closer than the Leitstand?
regards
Kurt

Hi Folks,
it's hard to tell. I would say it is Todt but without to be 100% sure.
The picture seems to be made from north to south, and the watchman look at the sea. There are each time Farm buildings near each Turm, see my book page 150/151. So the building we see could be:
- Turm I, with farm Delattre on the right (just next the bunker) and the farm Hamain in the distance in the left
- Turm II, with farm Guilbert on the right and the farm Caron in the distance on the left
- Turm III with Hamain and Caron.
But these are just suppositions. There are Farms too around FA, and there is a strange long line on the horizon line (under the smoke cloud) I don't explain.

It looks to me that it is MKB Friedrich-August by comparing the landscape with:
- MBK Friedrich-August today.
http://www.atlantikwall-frankreich.de/b ... eich05.htm
- Panoramic view of Türme 2 and 3 of MKB Todt. Scroll down at the bottom of the web page here:

Here are two more pictures of the same series. Notice on the right of the top picture the wooden platform from which the picture at the beginning of this post was taken.
