U-boot pens Brest

Post by jopaerya » 12 Jan 2013, 16:58

Hello All

Here a plan to enlarge the existing U-boot pens in Brest with two sections , according to the book
"Die deutchen Ubootbunker und Bunkerwerften" from S. Nietzel these new section could be used by
the large Uboot Typ XXI . On the picture you can see some ground work was on there way and in the
back some building activities .

Hi,

Jos, UBB was until French Marine autority. With "vigie pirate" instruction for terroristen danger, it's very hard to visit and take pictures... I have some friend in this aera, but never visited was possible...As you know, you found some rare picture for Inside and a lot of outside...

Hello,

It's excatly the same as the 4 ones in Lorient exept the fact that there are only few steps in Lorient. Moreover, some in Lorient are in mirrorview and have a extra room downstairs.

It guess there was a german code or name for this kind of Flakturm.
