According to "Atlantikwall.superforum.fr" the dombunker on these ebay pictures is the one near Calais at Fort Nieulay:

Hello
On the last picture (d.jpg) I am a bit puzzled about the railline next to the bunker?
Is that a "dummy" railroad line - look at the uneven way the line is - not very straight - would a heavy train be able to drive on that??
It could be a dummy line to make the bunker look more like a warehouse from the air, right?
Regards
Kurt

With my railway enthusiast hat on.
Looking at the ballast it is freshly laid track and needs to tampered (made level). Many quarries, coal mines, etc would have track laid as badly as that is. Fully loaded wagons would not have problems going over it as long as it was not faster than walking speed.

Hello,
Kurt: Your theory is very interesting-I had closer look and if We consider camouflage as 'pretending' of something else then dom bunker must pretend something like: barn, stock, workshop etc.
I see except dummy: rail line parallel to main railroad leading into bunker - you can notice: large dummy doors and dummy platforms along whole bunker! Mayby intention was to built is as a stock building? Dummy line looks very light=fresh tp pay sb. attention. What do you think?

Very interesting photos-Thanks Sturm!
I like the way they tried to camouflage it like building by painting dark squares pretending entrance doors or something like that + dummy platforms along the bunker

Just read the Dombunker at Fort Nieulay will be demolished in about 5 years to make place for new nature and a camping.

Re: Dombunkers for housing K5 railgun
Looks like brand neew bunker wasused for first time. People on the right seems to me like removing wooden form for concrete. There are also visible remains of the form over the entrance.
I feel like they put K5 for the first time: does it fit?
