According to this document there should be 6 X M 132 or M 120 at the Channel Islands ,
is that correct or was it just a plan for the 15 cm S.K.C/28 batteries ???

Only one wasn't placed I think, for Bt Moltke on Jersey.
Alderney: 1 x M 120, Bt Annes, 1 x M 120 Bt Elsass
Guernsey: 1 x M 132, Bt Steinbruch, 1 x M 132 Bt Strassbourg, 1 x M 132 Bt Dollmann (this one has a concrete hood)
Jersey: 1 x M 132 Bt Lothringen, 1 building pit at Bt Moltke

AvB is right, except that Mirus also had the front turret fitted to the command bunker.
