Hi Jos,
VERY nice pictures, thanks for sharing my friend. These intermediate building stage pictures are far too few and far between. Even a 58 c can be a complex thing .

A 7.5 cm FK248(i) (ex-Cannone da 75/32 mod. 37) in Heraklion (per ebay caption) in a coastal bunker. Photo ebay.de (same series as Jos' above):
Photos from ebay.de. The top one shows a 7 in. gun in Greece in 1941. I think that the guns on the 2nd picture also are 7 in. guns in Greece:

Re: Coast defenses in Greece
Hello Manuferey ,
Thanks for the uploading of 4 x photos !
My views :
Photo 1 + 2 : 7,5 cm FK 248 ( i )
Photo 3 : 7 in Mark 2 ( USN ) at Perdika battery
Photo 4 : 6 in Mark 7 ( english ) . The British have only
one 6 - in battery on the island at Suda Bay . So it
might be the location .
Regards ludvig

Re: Coast defenses in Greece
Probably the Krupp 210mm mysterious guns.
Re: Coast defenses in Greece
Hello
Could this be inside of the "21 cm" turret near Saloniki ( photocaption
Ebay placed this one in Greece ) the breech looks to a Krupp one ??

Re: Coast defenses in Greece
The turret has the curvature, and the hole in the turret for the tube seems similar to above post one. I don't have any breech knowledge so i can't say anything about it, the thing that leads me to believe it might be a Krupp design is the "stepped" tube and the fact that Krupp 210mm guns were reported in Greece.
Re: Coast defenses in Greece
The oval shape of the main embrasure and the smaller opening on the left side seem to correspond between Jos' posted pictures of the inside and outside. The breach definitely looks like a Krupp design, not a Vickers or a Schneider.
