15 KVA A2 - A3: Strongpoint names 1944
I'm investigating some German minefield maps which i got from a person who quit the hobby for medical reasons. I'm not 100% shure, but the story she told about where these minefield maps where came from is as follows:
The Belgian army got an order to destroy these maps, she found out about it and asked to conserve them, the army refused it, but copy's from the originals where taken, the originals themself where burned... according to her, there where only 3x copy's made of the whole lot, all in A3-format...
I know, it feels like a really strange story, but its a nice intro for what is comming in the next posts:
Sometimes there are Wn. and Stp. names on these minefield maps, these maps are from 1944 and for so far and my knowledge, not a single german strongpoint map of 1944 is found, so mostly we are stuck with parts of documents.

because all other Headquarters in KVA A3 have a cat-name, is Löwe perhaps another headquarter with an 117-bunker ???

no problemo many people are wandering in the dark about the A2 and A3 sector, i hope to enlighten the path a bit.
as for me, i'm still not knowing all of our Belgian coastline, i hope other people can share the stuff they might have
