Maybe a fake minefield?

Right again JKernwerk The Italic text shows that this is a dummy minefield.

Hi SES

Some kind of Kabelmerkstein. Abzweigmuffe, Kreuzmuffe or Spleissstelle??

Hi Tønnes,
Right you are. This one is from Ålbæk north of the battery.

I'm puzzled by this drawing:

I have always thought that these markers showed the route of already installed cables, but this seems to be a way to ADD a cable at a later date when all the trenchwork had been filled?
It isn't clear whether the 3mm Eisendraht (pull-through?) from the marker is attached to the one in the pipe - it seems to be attached to the pipe itself and the one in the pipe has a loop at each end. Would the link be in case the marker moved in soft sand, e.g.?

Any ideas?

Gee, they look like the concrete at RN Butts in Jersey! I see if I can find a pic....

I went to Barcelona, Spain and visited a castle, and I saw these guns and me and my friend are sure that this is a German gun but the thing is we don't know the name for it and it looks similar to the ones in the costal bunkers in D-Day.
Anyone can help with the name and details?

I'm guessing this is a trick question, you would say Maginot but looking at the removed armoured parts I'd go for some Artillery battery in a Czech fort.

[TUS]

Nice Arthur. You can’t be fooled that easily.
It is indeed one of the few artillery blocks build along the Czech-German border with clear inspiration from the Maginot design standards.
This beauty is N-D-S 75 part of the Pevnost Dobrosov.
Over to you.

Could be a hard one!
Name the places of these turrets, and as a bonus the types.

[TUS]

Unfortunately I can't call this the right answer, Stp. Berg is on Ørlandet. Sorry!

Kidding, you're completely right, about (almost) every detail.
Your turn again!
