Bunker with large turret

[forttravel]

AFAIK, it's a fully training turret. Remains were found in Poland few years ago. 2 layers of thin steel sheet, with concrete in between.

Similar construction bunkers are preserved in area of Świętoszów, former Truppenübungsplatz Neuhammer: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truppenüb ... _Neuhammer
Bunker with two small turrets on both sides and an big hole (for large turret?) in the middle of construction is to watch in this gallery: http://odkrywca.pl/bunkry-miedzy-rzeka- ... 49208.html

Thanks forttravel. Never seen anything like that.
A pity that no part of the large turret is present. I wonder why there was such a deep hole under the turret, if the turret was just a dummy.
Greetings Lars

Interesting photos!
I wonder what this huge "turret" was supposed to imitate? The whole layout looks like Czechoslovak casemates for proposed revolving machine gun turret "M/OR". But these were never finished, and the big concrete wells remained empty. Could this be (quite wrong) German vision of it?

Another...
this was described "Sudeten" "Tschechien", at least with the question marks...
