Interesting to see. The casemate at Kristiansand also has two Tobruks.

It looks like it has a small room, like a regular Tobruk, but the entrance directly at the Ringstand, with a high ladder going up. Like on your German plan. Don't have any close ups.

Hello All

Does anyone know if the B. Graf Spee had a St personal bunker near every heavy gun emplacement ??
So far I have found one M 151 with a concrete covered trench and a 622 with a typical high placed tobruk .

You are right Dirk

But I can't see any connection with 621 and the heavy gun emplacements ?
