[der bunkermann]

In the thinwalled PaK bunker at Wn 67 (kijkduin) it was done very clean. No blasting here, then we would have found debris..

In this case the whole gap was bricked up and the bunker used as storage for we dont know what

Hello,

As we know, the captured amount of 4,7 cm Pak K 36 (t) in Tschekoslovaka was 540. In 1940, making the decision to make new ones was still pending. Does anyone know what the final word was ? I guess it was "no" but I have no proofs.

According to Wolfgang Fleischer, Die deutsche Panzerjägertruppe, the Germans took over an export order for 132 guns for Yugoslavia (the Czech army itself did not use this gun). It took until April 1940 until all of these were delivered to the Heereswaffenamt.
Follow-up orders were placed for another 540 guns, bringing the total to 672. Of these, 376 were mounted on Panzerjäger I and Renault 35 chassis. So production ran on until mid-941 at least it seems.

Fleischer´s numbers seem a bit contradictory or incomplete. Spielberger (Beutefahrzeuge) lists 174 guns on R35, plus 26 command vehicles, delivered from May-October 1941.

Spielberger also puts the number of Panzerjäger I at 132, all delivered in 1940, so that would mean 306 self-propelled guns in all. However, other authors claim that a second series of 70 was built in late 1940-early 1941, so that would bring the total of SP guns up to 376, the exact number quoted by Fleischer.

Knouterer, Eax is talking about the Festungspak not the Pak.
The Yougo's never had any of the Festungspak version (well it could be but never seen, heard or read about it.)
