LW plexiglass cupolas

stril · Post by **stril** » 01 Jul 2007 15:55

Hello
Have been looking at some Fluwas lately and it seems that some of them(at least 4/5) had a similar setup. A small bunker with a cupola with openings for plexiglass. The cupola is mounted on a small rail, and seems to have been movable. Would be interested seeing photos of such setup from other places, and also any info of equipment used.
Regards

Speaking of plexiglas...
I found a tobruk (58c) with a plexiglas cupola and thought it was added after the war.
It's part of Luftwaffenstützpunkt "Ringelnatter" (Søndervig/Denmark).
Could it actually be an original cupola?

Sorry, cant help. Just sold the drawing to another one. His offer was half a kingdom, and the princess..

When it comes to the other ringstand i i dont know. But i can add that there seems to be a ringstand in my area that might have had a cupola too.

Maybe something similar?
Atleast it seems like it had windows/plexiglass

Hi,
It certainly seems as if a FLUWA is not just a FLUWA, just like a 58 c Tobruk is not just a Tobruk.

Very interesting discoveries, thanks for sharing.

Hello Jos
Nice picture

Old or present auction ?
Added some pictures from a Flüwa in the Bergen area. This one didnt have a cupola that could rotate. Some remains of the plexiglass is still visible
It was later disbanded by LW and taken over by the Heer. It was one of the few Heeres Flüwa in my area.
