Bonjour à tous

How many R639 was really built in AOK1 ? R Rolf give 3
But I know only 2, one at Bo32 (demolished) and the other at Bo37.

Hi JF,

The bunker in Bo32 seems to be lighter than a 639 ... Perhaps a 638 !?
Very best regards !

Goodmorning JF

I know only the two 639 build you told us in your post , I don't know for the one at Bo 32.
Beside these two, there was a 639 in construction at Ro 519 and one planned in Ba 213 .

Here a great photo from Erwan ( see watermark ) from the 639 at Bo 32, as you see the 639 is
on the other side of the road and quit a few meters away from the other bunkers in the park.
You can see this 639 has two extra rooms for water, one on the left side,when we are at the side
of the main entrances of the bunker, this one is smaller and a other one right behind the tobruk
and flanking wall with two back entrances. Special is for the 639 are the chimney pipes on the
side of the main entrances. Also note the drive though . Google Earth and Archives Toulouse

a 639 or 639a have their heating on the ground level
normally a 639 has no cellar ore embassement
only for a Hoelscheranlage
which is two rooms in the cellar so maybe it is this with those two entrances at the back
altough idon t see the purpose there for this anlage there

For the second chimney see your drawing of Graf Spee , I also think the two rooms
with the entrance in the back are on the same ground level as the 639 .
