Festung Dünkirchen: Stützpunkt 18 "Max"

Hello all,

I'm working on an kmz-file of this location, and i use a lot of resources to do so. SHM plans gives us many 515 bunkers, which according to geoportail aerials simply arent there or completely other types are?!! The purple bible from Chazette also goes completely in the mist on this part, i assume he used only SHM documents to create that plan? I also have a plan from Jacky, but the same here, i think everyone uses SHM-files blindly...

For example this 515 on SHM document (which's location is used in the purple book from Chazette at page 69)

On an aerial from geoportail from 1949 you don't see an 515, but an 680 (or 612) on this location!

Why do SHM write "515" for a complete different bunker?! The same for another flanking 515 above (left on the SHM plan), it simply doesnt exist !!

Anyone can correct me if i'm wrong?
for Mr Chazette, i have no intention to break you're magnific book, i use it all the time, but there are some major errors in it which comes from SHM i think.

Also for the "134M", i cannot get head or tail on that location left of the 680 (on the aerial), i cannot fit an 134 there ?!! for me it are just some FA structures...

Hello Wardaddy,

They are already started the destructing of the back of the R515. You see in upper right corner the periscope.

Greetings
