La Pallice

Hello All

In my documents the Luftwaffe flak at La Pallice ( La Rochelle ) was 8.8 cm flak ,
who has any information that the 8.8 cm flak was changed in 10.5 cm Flak ??

Hi Jos

just 10,5 cm S.K.C/32 from boot transfert in land

Hi Alain

Looks your are right , naval information not Lutwaffe , I was hoping the L 418 were used with the 10.5 cm Flak .

Hi! No idea if worth anything but site mentioned below has some pictures and info on La Pallice and many other bunkers. The bunker Jos mentioned in first post looks like what is mentioned as "Abri P.C. Amiral". No good at french so I'm not quite sure this helps.

Hi !
here is the "Befehlsbunker" bunker....:

This bunker is now used as an archive (public records area).

Hello

Found some scans of my "real photos" from the first time I visited La Pallice in 1996

The gasolinetanks and the pier is near La Pallice, but I dont know if it has anything to do with the UBB?

Bonjour

Gasoline tanks are not or near La Pallice but in Gironde South (Le Verdon). German made for Marine boats not fur UB.
And the "pier" is not a pier but "digues de défense contre l'océan" (Soulac) made by Port Autonome de Bordeaux. Some began in 1844...

On your last photo, you can see Gi306 in the left of the "pier"

those rail-networks in the pier you also have at boulogne sur mer, even an old train-shed can been determined at boulogne, but i also think they are from 1800's
