Did the 38cm and 40.6cm gun turrets have slightly differing characteristics? I think it’s hard to tell and they end up being confused online. I would slightly lean towards saying this is a 40.6cm gun but could be wrong.

Hello

The text on the lorry could maybe indicate the location?

Then the turrets were different between batteries Todt and Vara. It seems the batterie vara turrets had a large protrusion on their right side, just below the ventilation opening. This is visible in post 745 on this thread.

The turrets of for the 38 cm and 40,6 cm were identical, Bettungsschiesgerüst C/39.

The protrusion on the "Vara" turret is the elevator for empty cases, and on the newest pictures you actually see the opening in the side of the turret, where the elevator was to be mounted.

I would suppose that pictures are either from "Todt" or "Lindemann".

Hi all,

Can somebody identify this heavy coastal gun and/or the battery ?
I would say that the gun could be an 28cm SK L40...

Hello.
no one ???
First I thought, it could be 30,5 cm Kanonenbatterie at Cuxhaven, but it does not fit. The shields are different.
Behind the white house left there is maybe a dyke. And in the background are 3 towers or lighthouses.
Because of the dyke I prefer a location at the northsea, maybe an island. But where???
Regards
Oliver
