FHQu Wolfsschlucht 2: Flakgruppe

#1

Post by Bunkerfreak » 01 Aug 2020, 15:24

Hello all,

Does anyone know if all those flakbatteries around FHQu W2 belonged to a seperate Flakgruppe?
If so, is it know which one or is it known which one was planned to occupy the emplacements?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Tom

There was some information in Germandocsinrussia.com about special flak-units that were used
to protect the F.H.Q. and from what I understood there were mobile units that could be transferred
from F.H.Q. to the other F.H.Q. , but I can't find it right now .

Regards Jos

Ok, ty Jos!

And before it was an FHQu, the base in Margival belonged as HQ for the invasion of england (unternehmen seelöwe), is it possible the flak was allready placed that early in the war? maybe with static units?

work in progress, all my pictures taken in this Flakgruppe (for the moment called Flakgruppe Margival, but i can easily re-name it when i have official name)

All links linked to Flickr-account with all my pictures in max resolution.

Only need to place the other three heavy flaksites and some smaller once, enjoy!

The first four batteries looks to be for the FHQ Wolfsschlucht 2 , Regards Jos ( BAMA )

Very nice find Jos.

Gemische Flakbatterien with RAD boys, equiped with Kdo.Ger.36 of Hif.Kdo.Ger.35... Definetly not high-end Flak as expected for a FHQ !8O

Nice Jos! Any link to W2 is nice!

Not highend, but it was a quiet place. ;)
The Malsi geräte eveywhere point towards the fact that radar was lacking as well.
