Hello

On this post-war Ebay picture you can see the one of the 30.5 cm S.K.L/50 guns of M.K.B. von Schroder
on Helgoland , as you can see this large gun also recieved a Deckenschutz just like the 10.5 cm Flak version .

Regards Jos

Dear Helogland fortification fans,

I hardly recommend this quite nice book:

http://www.froehle-kuehn-verlagsgesells ... oland1.htm

There is also a second book about the pre WW II fortifications:

http://www.froehle-kuehn-verlagsgesells ... oland2.htm

Both books are really nice done and quite cheap for the amount of pictures and information you get.

Regards

Daniel
