L 480 SKORPION (Vaudricourt), France
Hi,
I for one know very little about this site so any contribution would be much appreciated.
Attached a map of the location and a drawing of the Klein Heidelberg.
The L 480 was built for a KH and according to German reports there was no previous Wassermann S.

and here is the proof of the Wassermann S never being mounted:
"HISTORY OF KLEIN HEIDELBERG AT VAUDRICOURT.
5. On his arrival at Vaudricourt in April 1943, P/W saw that a
Wassermann aerial array and the component parts for the chimney were
lying at the site. During November 1943 the chimney components were
cleaned, painted and assembled, and by the end of that month the chimney
had been erected. The Wassermann aerial array was never fitted up, and
was still lying on the ground when the site was evacuated in August
1944."

Hello,
We visited Skorpion twice, found most bunkers but the L480 was not found/visited back then. However we manged a visit to the L479 on this site.
Here some pics from a barrack (nr. 12) which lies near the large wirtschaftsbaracke with some text inside, this is a bit extraordinary because on almost all radarsites in France we did not find any texts left.

Hi Tom,
Thank you for the pictures, I'm pretty sure that Kurt has the right position for the L 480.

Re: L 480 SKORPION (Vaudricourt), France
Does it bother that i send all found buildings in here, or is it the purpose from this subject to post only about the L480?
