It's a very blurry picture but I think the lower picture you can see the Gennevilliers turret on the left side .
You can see the same squire hole as in the picture here above , photo is from Axis Forum .

Interesting post!
Wondering what the "park" was,
I found these images of the area...
My french is lousy so hoping it is
a correct observation.

Hello,

Interresting quote and link ! 8O

The "d)" point of the german document is clearly in connection with the following sentence from Waleed's link :

Code: Select all

[i]"Mais le colonel Habitsch, commandant du Park, a fait détruire toutes les maquettes des nouveaux bunkers"[/i]
But the Oberst Habitsch, the Park commandant, has every new bunker design prototypes destroyed.

Dear Friends,

On a recently added aerial photo online ("Remonter le Temps" website) it's possible to discover the experimental "Betonpanzerkuppel" build in Gennevilliers Pi-Park. You can also notice the nice camouflage painting applied on the roof of the "Beton-Werk" build on the East part of the Pi-Park.

Regards from Rouen

Dear Friends,

To complete about Pi-Park Gennevilliers, the aera was after "Liberation" of Paris used by US Army engineer of "Seine Section". Please find a plan of the two part of the camp, coded by US Army "Camp 508A" and "Camp 508B" (Source : http://www.6thcorpscombatengineers.com).

Best regards from Rouen.

This should also be Gennevilliers according to the book "Der deutsche Festungsbau" looks they were also doing test with explosives.
