Can you identify the location and the type of this bunker? Is it Regelbau?

Hello

That would be Wn. 111 Wolfsschlucht at Cran D´Escalles - Cap Blanc Nez - in France.

The bunker is a Vf MG Schnabelstand.

Hello

No - sorry I do not :lol:

By the way - the first picture i found on the internet by Google Pictures - it belong to "RV - Heim62" also a member of this forum, and the picture is from 2005. Just for good sake and to make a note of the source - the other one is the BAMA picture also shown in the Atlantikwall book by Dr. Heber.

Good post, I'm glad you clarified that, I had no way to do it myself.

Here's a few more links:

The picture that Jos posted at 14 Jul 2014 is at ebay again, but there is something odd about it. It is exactly the same pic, but the chimney is at an other place...

I suppose just some ordinary Paint work.
