i had called it "obs." on my plan, didnt think about the minenbunker possibility. According to that nice map of dunkirchen there where two minen-controlbunkers in that area, so it is possible that this is the one for erich and the other lies on erfurt.

Hi Dirk,

In my opinion the last pictures had been taken in the "Entrée du Port", near place du Minck. Please have a look to the postcards published just after the war and the building along the quai, in the center of each photos. It was just a small bunker build in the corner of this building to control the access to rue Lhermitte.

Here a google map link to see how it is today : https://www.google.com/maps/@51.0397302 ... 312!8i6656.

Greetings from Rouen,

Sébastien Haule
