1 : Crasville ; 2 : sorry, not found ; 3 : 501, MKB Marcouf

1 : Crasville ;
First, thank you Etienne for the ID of the 502 at Morsalines! :thumbsup:

Regarding the Crasville picture, we can see in the background the dirt mount on which one of the two 3.7 cm Flak guns of the battery was positioned. There is a close up picture of this 3.7 cm Flak gun in the same photo series as well as a picture of the 2nd 3,7 cm Flak gun of the battery. :wink:
