Re: Westwall
This looks like a Regelbau 105, maybe in the Fischbach-Area near Pirmasens.

Re: Westwall
The bunker in post #670. Compared it, and only the 117 has two entrances, a close defence room and the one air inlet in this position.
117 in the Westwall or Atlantikwall?

Re: Westwall
I think this R 117 can be found on the Atlantikwall - we can see the typical armor plate, the raised cover and the typical camouflage paint. We can't find that on the Westwall …

Re: Westwall
All in the Saarlautern area, the last photo should be WH 672 at Fraulautern, Regelbau 115b with Dreischartenturm:

Re: Westwall
Thanks for the identiification.
"Schweighofen Pfalz", some of the photos are B-Werk? Btw is there something like a "B-Werk catalogue" with plans or are the informations scarce? I know there are plans for Ostwall Panzerwerke, but Westwall?

Re: Westwall
Not much known. There are several plans in Der Westwall by Bettinger & Büren. These come from several documents in Bundesarchiv. The B-Werke in the Oberotterbach area are a little bit bigger than the B-Werk Besseringen but have the same configuration.

Re: Westwall
The photos are from the Otterbach-Area, but we don't know, which B-Werk this is.
The other photos show a Regelbau 3 and a Sechsschartenturm. They are not connected but there is a wall between the the bunkers to cover the entrances. They are WH 215 and 218, north of Steinfeld.

Re: Westwall
There's only one way to find out. Visit every B-Werk location and check the horizon. The hills in France (Col du Birkenthal, Col du Pigeonnier, Eselsberg, Luchsenkopf and Brissetisch Kopf) are clearly visible. Interesting about the WH 215 and 218.

No it's a high door seen from the inside. Optical illusion. 437P01, 2 meter high.
