Finely I found a drawing of the VF. 1a with some more details , drawing is from the Nationaal Archief .

Ho Jos, never saw that one before!

Nice to see the table and chairs.. but no beds?

[dirk Peeters]

we measured at least 15 different VF 1a everywhere but in no one we could find the fixations for beds ....
many however have different niches , some even have telephone connections

Hi Dirk, that's interesting to hear..
Opposite the emergency entrance is perfect place for 6 beds. But we need evidence;-)

I have never noticed here in holland if there are traces..

[dirk Peeters]

in many many VF bunkers they used wooden beds , so it is not easy to spot the fixations ....
it s not that we didn t see it that there where no beds at all
the same goes for the >BF 51 and BF 52
we know that in the brest area these VF 1a are equiêd with amo and gun niches in the entrances so logically there could be beds but no proof at all

Hi Zeemacht,
i'm not convinced that is a ww2 bed on your picture...
any old photo with this bed on it?

greetings, Tim

[zeemacht]

Hello Tim, I very convinced that this bed is not WW2 but from many years later.... I've posted the pics to show the VF

[der bunkermann]

Clear

Hello all,
The small bunker behind the R611 in Hoek van Holland is that maybe a V.F. 1a because it looks almost the same as the picture above
only our bunker have stairs leading outside ?

Or is it to big to be a V.F. 1a

i ll think here the BRV has made an error
here is what we measured
here the location

and here the plan

as you can see it has an emergency exit and last but not least it is 1 m 50 thick so a VF2a Verstarkt

Dirk,
Yes we are talking about the same bunker and I saw that the Brv guys forgot to put the Notaustieg in their drawing
