If you use the term Siegfried Line, use the correct spelling ;)
Or just use: Westwall

Hi Jos,

That sort of camouflage is very common on Guernsey, it consists of cement mixed with straw.

Hi Jos, hi Malcom!

This Camo is a mix from concrete milk (Betonmilch) an Woodwool (Holzwolle) and green paint (grüne Farbe), here we have a lot of bunkers with this camo.
You can find it at bunkers vom 1938-1940

BRegards
Markus

From the tone of your reply I guess that you have never made a spelling mistake which is what I did! :?

Hi,

Type could be a Casematte 105, 503, 514, 515 or a double Casematte 107 or 108. They all have this "Schartenfront".
It´s a late Version to give more protection to the plate.

You also could see booth version of the "Schartenfront" on the pics, i posted above.
First you see the 7P7 plate without a concret protection, the following pics with it.

BRegards
Markus

Hi Jos,

the following pic´s of this on ebay are writen with "Bau eines Panzerwerks bei Saarbrücken" (Build of a Panzerwerk near Saarbrücken)

It looks like a Type in Baustärke A, and from the size I would say a Regelbau 114

BRegards
