Hello @ndrew

The device is called a "Dreiwag-Küste" ( Kommandogerat )and was placed under the rangefinder in the armored cupola .

Interesting for me MFB Løvaas had a "Dreiwag-Küste", noted as Dreiwag-Küste Schwer

Thank SES and Jos for answers

How was described Drewiag for 105 and 128 Flaks the same name? They must be different.

Hello

Most of the 12.8 cm Flak 40M batteries in the West used the Lg 5 ( Hazemeyer ) as "Kommandogerät "

Thanks Jos-that's really interesting information. How You explain it-There was not enough German equipment?
I wonder if any special changes were made in 'software' of Lg 5 to fit it with 12.8cm Flaks???

Hello @ndrew

The are a few reasons (1) Hazemeyer was a satelite organisation from Siemens
(2) They were very happy with the Lg 4 for the 7.5 cm Flak Vickers
(3) The Lg 5 was designed only for the naval 12.8 cm Flak

Could it be that the construction has some thing to do with the naval ship where the equipment was taken of?

Dreiwag-Küste of Munkholmen, Trondheim.

Hello Arthur

I don't think that the device at Munkholmen is a Driewag , or
maybe a lot of the material is lost ?? BTW your picture is a beauty

Hello,

here is a painting showing one of the Marine Flak.
what is interesting that in the backgorund are visible 2 bunkers: on the left for E-Messer and right for gun.
Left one looks OK to me but the second one on the right looks more like bunker for E-Messer(!).
As far as I know bunkers for gun have more simply external shape: like 'box' whil E-Messer bunker looked like 'a house'.
Personally this painting looks to me like one of ealry German batteries but i'm not sure...
Any info/comments are welcome

Hey,
it looks a bit like Swinemünde (Harbour entrance and the high lighthouse).
