Tim, It is.
This picture was taken in the harbour of Vlissingen.
You can see the old trainstation in the back (on the left side).
The bunker is a 631.

The trainstation of vlissingen did not look "Dutch", more like a French or Belgian design.

Hei

This bunker is on the last page in a Ebay album. All pictures in the album is from Bodö, Norway.
Not sure about this bunker, never seen anyone like this one in my area.
Any ideas?

Looks to me Belgian bunkers, the left one a artillerie block with three 7.5 cm guns ( Eben Emael ) and right a block with a 4.7 cm anti-tank gun .

Jos, you are right.
These are taken at Eben-Emael.

These two photos are certainly of Belgian design and are indeed of Eban Emael.
The right hand photo shows Bloc 2 photographed from the direction of Bloc 1, the other face of this bunker covered the water obstacle.
Armament consisted - 2 x 6cm guns, 4 x Maxim MG in reversable mounts, 2 x Searchlights, other features are a cloche for observation a sortie for infantry and a gas decontamination chamber.
The photo shows significantly less damage than some others and may show the bunker before it was used in propaganda film when explosives were liberally were used.
The left hand is probably Maastrict 2, 3 x 7.5 cm guns and 1 x cloche

regards
Geoff

Hello. I am looking for the Dutch Cold war command bunker, where the German copula has been used as the emergency exit. I have seen the photos at any web site, but I am not able to found it now. Thank you.
