Jos,
That's what I'm thinking too based on the shape of the shield.

Separately, since it is November 11 today, WW1 Armistice Day in Europe and Veterans Day in the US, let us not forget all the horrors of artillery bombardment in WW1.

Hello Emmanuel
That is also a option , but the Hochleitstand made me think that is was the German coast .
Wise words about the WW1 Armistice Day in Europe and Veterans Day in the US .

Re: Help Id these heavy coastal guns
This picture probably shows a 28 cm SKL/45 or 28 cm SKL/50 battery in the winter of 1939/40 - before most of these batteries were scattered all over Europe. Might be any battery, but the resemblance of the Bettungschiessgerüst with those at Kiberg indicates that this might be Batterie Grosser Kurfürst (28 cm SKL/50) in Pillau. The BSG from this battery ended up at Kiberg (28 cm SKL/45) when Grosser K. received its more modern C/37 gun turrets.
