in the new book of A Chazette
there are plans of this bunker (KIII) which i think was revisited for this publication by Arthur Le Roux
maybe they have "new" interior pictures and willing to place here

one thing the underground tunnel for going to KII he is not on this plan (only the ground floor , and this tunnel is in the cellar of KIII)
sadly i heared that it s impossible to visit it nowadays
here some pictures of this tunnel

Hi,

Did you mean is the same "flaktower" in UBB Saint-Nazaire ? For the one is open to public (only space for gun of course)
Thank you

Patrick

ok its a wonderfull job you did
do you have a few interior pictures of the SK bunker on the slipway?
we never entered that one
this is the only picture i ve got from the interior
(you can see the passage because the walls are 3m50 thick

i won t place your plan here , i don t know if you like it but its certainly a beautifull bunker with a grenade pit at the side

Patrick altough they resemble a lot these Flak bettung and bunker

there are a few differences
At st Nazaire they have a extra small niche
