No this is not it, Grzesio.
I think it is a sort of practicing device, the pictures i have seen all are from the pre battle period, so i do not think it is one of the two 10.5cm turrets from the Panzeratlas, the ones from the Pa are the ones used in the Flakbatteries, there are two types a "round" one and a "square" one.
However they have similarities, but this could be a coincidence.

Ducatim901, sure, I had not seen the second picture then. It looks like a training device indeed.
The turrets I was thinking about were the 720P3 for 8,8 cm Flak, in class B and the 721P3 for 10,5 cm Flak, in class A, not the well known turrets used in naval batteries I believe.
By the way, were they ever built?! As those resistance classes suggest they should be real monsters!

when you look at the picture it's not a bad design at all,
imagine a flak batterie with 4 or 6 pieces like this , when fliegeralarm sounds you roll em out of the remise's
and after the battle you ''drive'' em safely back in the bunkers
the disadvantage are the rails that could easily be damaged, even by schrapnel coming back from the sky.

Flak turret
So it's an armoured shelter to protect a piece of heavy Flak? Seems to me that the two halves of the shell could be separated and railed aside to get the gun uncovered and operational.
Jos, did the US-Ebay foto contain info on when and by whom it was taken? Could the English caption indicate that it was taken after the war by a US soldier? If so, it would be not just a prewar prototype, but an operational device(?)
