give and take a few details and that plan from SHM is relatively good Jos

[dirk Peeters]

there is a second obs post in the Bttr Hamburg
here a picture that i took in 1994

and that plan

this one has a Flak on the roof
it was in 1994 under " reconstruction" so the Flakstand could not be measured in all its details
i geuess there are 4 ammo niches (in each corner a ammo niche but that could not be verified

That took some good hits... one big mess on the buildingsite. Lots of interesting details to be seen on the photo!

Hello Jos,

the document speaks only of already extracted Flak-Weapons and Scheinwerfer, not the big guns itself...

Oke Uwe

That explains the other locations

I assume that 8,8 cm C/13 = 8,8 cm Flak L-45 in MPL C/13.
