S 448a

AvB · #1

I'm looking for the locations of S 448a and their look-a-likes.

The three ammunition bunkers of Batterie Mirus are 2 meter versions of the S 448a, their layout is slightly different. They look like early versions of the S 448a.

I'm looking for plans of the ammo bunkers of Plouharnel, Paimpol and Vara too because they resemble the S 448a.

Hello Arthur

I think that you are right that the ammunition bunkers at Mirus are not S 448a .
not only the wall are 2 meter but also the outer form is different . Must be a earlier
S type .

There is also the S 174 http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... 0&t=115980

P.S. there must also be a S 448a at M.K.B. Husoen ??

As jopaerya mentioned the MKB 1/607 Husöen has an S448a to support its three 28cm SKL/45. It was built as a Bausterke B (2 meter) instead of A, also planned with single set of entrance doors instead of double. The entrance is extended to make up for the loss of the set of doors. The bunker type is designed for railway but this battery did not have that luxury. You also mention the S174 at Vara. It has two built just like the drawings. Both in relative good nick today as I have visited them both. I have made models of both types that can be downloaded for Sketchup as a 3D Model. Both includes realistic inventory.

Thanks Anders

Normal the S 448a used 4195/4200 cbm with walls of 3.50 A ,
the S 448a ( number in bauplan ) at M.K.B. Husoen used 2000 cbm .

Thanks for this info, I knew about the one at Husoen, interesting to see it's slightly different. I will visit this one myself in July. Ill post Colin Partridge's plan of the Mirus ammo bunker tomorrow.
