New bunker , new price

Post by jopaerya » 04 Feb 2011, 19:58

Hello

After the succes of the last bunker ( Les Sables ) here a other one . According to the photocaption
this should be Cherbourg , the front looks logical but the back part of the bunker is a guess for me .

Photo = Ebay

Regards Jos

Hello SES

In St Lô was the H.Q. of the LXXXIV A.K. from the 7 A.O.K. pre D-Day , but that was more to the north of the town .
I think that this communication bunker was a central point for all communication lines in Normandie ??

OK, thanks, I only have drawings of the 15 AOK bunker I'm unsure if it is a telephone bunker or a GefStd.

Looks that the small front part is "normal" bunker for personel with entrance defence
and tobruk and the large backpart big rooms for the telehone repeater station ?
