Jos, you are the winner. It is elements for concrete tetraedra reused just after the war with the view to create a stair in my city, Sainte Adresse. 50 elements are here ! I found near 55 elements reused for this purpose in my city Sainte Adresse !

Hi Jos,

Correct. I knew that you would know this. 8)
No, it's your turn again. However, i will not reply to
your next question, to avoid that the quiz will only
be between the two of us. :oops: :P

Hello @ndrew

Your are right it is a 10,5 cm SK C/33 and what I meant
was that it belong to a ship , but it was also used in the
Atlantik Wall . You are @ndrew.

...guess it was a Bismarck class.

Next mystery :)

You all will guess that they are cupolas but:
why they are concrete,
what for they were used and
where

Dummy-Yes
Margival-No answer:Ostwall in Poland
They were made to catch attention on itself instead of real ones-and probaly for practising(?).
They are part of Ostwall bunker sytem in general-but are not a part of a single bunker-just cupolas put on the field.
