Panther Bodenturm
Last post
Well, here goes the colour pic.Is from a well known example preserved at Germany.Modified turret with hexagonal base (Wooden bunker?Please note that the turret shown at the drawing of the Panther-Turm A (Schnelleimbau) has the same base...)The original "Make a Bunker by yourself" manual shows a T34 turret as example.
And last example the improvised Panther Fortifications made from complete Panther Hulls without Engine,wheels and tracks buried in streets (Mainly in Berlín but also in other big cities) G Hulls from disabled tanks sent to the factories for repair-rebuild.
I would like to credit all the ones that provided me these pics but I lost all the info in a -Many - computer crashes...And excuse my English

Good day everybody!
Here is a link to the "Pantherturm in Poland"
http://www.orasoft.net.pl/~leszek.ch/e_pt.htm
This site is also very interesting, there are a lot of different Pz.-Kampfwagen-Türme (tank turrets) used as stationary defence :

The third picture (Pantherv.jpg) showing a Pantherturret on a shelter with wooden stamps you have posted on 22.March is wrong. The combination of this typ of a wooden shelter with a Panther turret was never built
I know three different versions of Wooden shelter with Pantherturm (Holzstand für Schnelleinbau für Pantherturm).
The are made of flat boards or half round wooden trunks, with or without ammunition camber and little different measures.
The turret of Pirmasens (Gerstfeldhöhe) is standing on the earth. There is only a small hole under the turret but no shelter.
Also look the links

Hello
My first message here Ok, a word about Pantherturm in Szczecin - some pics http://www.odkrywca-online.com/index1.p ... nazwa=lufa - being dug out by engineers, more http://www.odkrywca-online.com/pokaz_wa ... 191#135216. And as a detail I have to say that it has/had a wooden base instead of concrete or steel. If I find anything else I'll post it.
Best regards

Finaly have some more photos of Pantherturm captured by Polish II Corps in Italy
Nice close-ups and camo pattern.This is typical fortification example of the turret.
BTW How many of them were installed in Poland (with nowadays borders)?
There are same places 'reported to be fitted with or to have something' but as for today only one were found in Szczecin.
There are some rumours that few were in Wrocław but no photos or reamains of emplacements are visible today.
Here are the photos (source=caption):
