Re: Online auction topic
hi r.v.,
That's a S-5 (also called stekelvarken-porcupine): a dutch mg bunker built before the war...
They built alot in short time, and did not spend alot of effort on the foundations.

In 1943 there was a big storm in the Northsea.
There are pictures known of tobruks tumbled down from dunes.
So not really strange that pictures like this surface in E-Bay.
The picture could be taken on Dishoek, Hoek van Holland, IJmuiden or Den Helder.
Around these places casemates of the type shown on the picture were built in the dunes.

Re: Online auction topic
Thank you both for your answers.
Did the German re-used these dutch buildings ? (according to the comment of the soldier who took the picture, I think yes: he thought it was a part of the Awall).
After a such sliding, I suppose the bunker was unable to be used.

Re: Online auction topic
Indeed these were reused by the german army in the neue westwall, and later the atlantikwall, most times in their original function.
Re: Online auction topic
I found these images in ebay.de, they are rare I think, the Vz 30 czech gun in german service
Re: Online auction topic
Thanks for your images, haxtur
Here, two very small images from Ebay: Obice da 210 and Breda M32 tractors
I do not know if in italian or hungarian Army service
There are very few wartime images of this weapon.

Re: Online auction topic
Thank you for sharing this image, Jopaerya. It is increasingly evident, given the growing number of images of this howitzer, that this howitzer must have come into service in German Army, even if a limited form.Jopaerya wrote

Re: Online auction topic
This is a small dutch casemate for machinegun with a steel cupola, type G.
This way the bunker could have very low profile..
Picture taken out of the train!
