Photo's = Ebay.de

Re: Bat. Ottenhöfen
Great photos!!
Are these the same guns used in the Batterie von Schröder in Wangerooge island? (6X30.5cm SK L50)
How many guns had the Bat. Ottenhöfen?
After the Western Campaign of 1940, 3 of these guns were used in the Batterie Friedrich August in Calais no??

Hello Sturm78
The Bat Ottenhöfen had 3 x 30.5 S.K.L/50 and were coming from the M.K.B. Friederich-August
from Wangerooge ( Stand 1938 ) and were after the Westwall period place at La Tresorerie
just north of Boulogne with also 3 x 30.5 cm guns .
The M.K.B. von Schröder also with 3 x 30.5 cm S.K.L/50 were placed at Helgioland , I don't
know if these guns were also from Friederich-August ( Wangerooge ) .

Re: Bat. Ottenhöfen
Were the emplacements, after the transfer of the guns to Friedrich-August (Tresorerie), just deserted?

Hello Arthur
In the book "Der Westwall" it's stated that in 1944 there are still 2 x Regelbau 35 ?? not 3 ??

Re: Bat. Ottenhöfen
The answer is that while an additional gun was moved when the battery moved to France only 2 305 MM were sent to the westwall. This is covered in Rudi Rolfs "Der Atlanticwall. page 8, footnote 15

Hi Roland 1369
Thanks for the reply , yes most information indicates that there were only 2 x 30.5 cm S.K.L/50
in the Westwall . I based my conclusion on this document , please see the note .

Hello Uwe
Are you sure about your last picture is the 30.5 cm S.K.L/50 guns at Ottenhöfen ?
The first red arrow shows a retriever ?? and the roof construction is typical .

Re: Bat. Ottenhöfen
The camouflaged gun looks like a 15 cm sFH18.
