is still unknown . But now on photo's from our French member J.F. the text Artillerie-Funkstelle
is painted on the door of the closet .

Photo's = J.F. and Dirk Peeters

Thanks for the info Jos. Found the photo again. 664 at Mont Lambert.
Maybe a big artillery bunker had a bigger Artillerie-Funkstelle closet?

Hello Stril

Thanks for your nice picture , the photo's from JF are from a 608 and
your photo from a Leitstand so communication could be a option .

I have heard from Arthur that in a bunker in Ter Heide there is also the same closet .
