Those where my pic's (only a best-off compilation offcoarse) from all buildings we found during our visits in 2005 and 2011. Does anyone dug up the L480 allready?

Remark in the L479 the strange French functions on the wall, like "Tables de Seeburg". Its strange because i'm wondering how long those functions are written there? No offence to French people, but back in the days i think it was not common to know what equipment was placed in such bunkers...

Or are they written before the inner lining of the bunker by (perhaps) french labour or collaborated workers? An other possibility those texts are written after the war, but again, who knows of a Seeburg-table and why write it on the wall?!

This Küche is located 1km south-west from the Skorpion FuMG, its called Stützpunkt Ca 016 (Skorpion is StP. Ca 010) and contains some logistical buildings only, like this large cantine (Küche) and some Wellblech and storages.

I'm pretty convinced that this strongpoint is also a part of Skorpion. Like FuMG Wels and Buldogge, those bases are also spread across several strongpoints.

What do you guys think of this lonely placed cantine-building?

Anyone know what the tactical meaning for that white cross above the door is?

SES,

Feel free to use the pics for Gyges (only somewhere a small mention to BFA is fine for me) :thumbsup:
