Re: Maginot Line bunkers
There were five main anti-infantry versions of LO 1937 (plus three anti-tank versions for field ATG) with numerous subvariants. Some 9000 of these objects were built (plus some 850 of older type 1936).Sturm78 wrote: However both bunkers not look exactly the same The first one appears larger and has a side door
That entrance area is actually on the rear, MG is on right side and front is covered by that stones - it still lacks also some soil over that stones - white facade shows its intended reach.
Here are some projections of several subvariants of versions A and B:

Anyway if you have more photos of Czechoslovak fortifications to question you can post them here:

Tourelle Demontable STG
Re: Maginot Line bunkers
From the look of the camouflage pattern on the turret and the terrain,my guess is that the location is somewhere in either Fortified Sector Faulquemont or Sarre.

Re: Maginot Line bunkers
Czechoslovak - I think that it is OP-S 21 near Opava city (northern border with Germany).
Re: Maginot Line bunkers
The two photos water marked "fotoshop44" were taken of a turret located inside a strong point. In the bottom photo you can see a trench forward of the turret.

Re: Maginot Line bunkers
The photo is of a GFM (observation and machine gun) cupola of a French casemate located on the bank of the Rhine River near Strasbourg.

Another T.D -from eBay
Re: Maginot Line bunkers
That is an unidentified tourelle demontable near Petite Ouvrage Teting in Fortified Sector Faulquemont, southeast of Metz.
