Interesting bunkers. Could you post GPS coordinates or the map (satelite)?

The VF 1,2 and 7 were designed by the Insp.d.Landesbefestigung West, also Insp.d.Landesbefestigung Nord
had there own design in V.F. So maybe the drawings of Acesfakia are V.F. bunkers designed by the Insp.
d.Landesbefestigung Süd ??

Well, please notice that objects from Norway and Crete seem to be very similar.... Maybe Sud borrowed drawings from North? :-)

What is the date of that HKAA list Jopaerya?

I also wonder of that 12cm Italian battery. Can only be naval guns - don't believe 120/25 was still in service at this time and in Greece. - Any location for it? Egeo(Aegean)?

Edit: it cannot be 120/25 due to 16km range. So has to be a naval gun.

It looks like it's battery Elunda, Mirabello bay (in Italian part of Crete). Gun type seems 120/45.
