[jopaerya]

Hello

Here some postwar picture's of Division artillery batterie Basilia ( 8./1716 ) of the 716 I.D. posted at the Vire-mouth.
As you can see 3 x 612 were ready to used , the other 1 x 612 were in building phase ( Formsteine ) . The guns that were used in this batterie were the 10 cm l.F.H. 14/19 (t) . Also you see the 622 that was build in that W.n. , on the other picture you can see a M.G. pit with a Zwillunglafette 36 .

Jos,

The name was actually "Brasilia", not "Basilia". You can also see a handwritten "r" added to the German document.

But see the distance between the ventilation grills and the entrances. It's a 622, I've seen them more with only four ventilation openings.

Two bunkers are dug up. See viewtopic.php?p=2264212#p2264212

You could see these two on old aerial photo's on Geoportail but I did not had a clue what type.
One was already known as a 622 or 621 but it seems there is an other one and a 607.
