Re: Maginot Line bunkers
Thank you, Marc.
I appreciate your help with this type of images
Here, another two images from EBay. I think this time they are two bunkers on the Maginot Line,...... I hope.

Re: Maginot Line bunkers
The top photo is STG Casemate Vaux-Dessus located near Sedan. It was attacked by elements of the 2nd Panzer Division. What is not visible in the photo are two craters next to the casemate from Stuka bombs.
I am uncertain of the bottom photo. It is Maginot Line, but I am not certain where.

Marc

On second thought, I think the bottom photo is a Czech casemate.

Easy one to identify. It is STG Casemate C13 south of the Village of Francaltroff in the Sarre. Located next to an important road it was often photographed, although most photos are of the other side of the casemate where there were the graves of seven German soldiers.

Re: Maginot Line bunkers
That's Block 6 of Gros Ouvarge Hochwald. It is part of the eastern side of the ouvrage and was heavily bombarded by Stukas. The damage was negligible. GO Hochwald, located near Wissembourg, was a common tourist destination for German units in the summer of 1940 and there are a lot of photos of it.

Re: Maginot Line bunkers
Yes it is Maginot Line; a GFM cupola. Need further clues to determine its location.
