I don't think this camouflage particular Reichswehr. Similar can be found on other places too.

If i'm correct 622 ?

It is hard to identify the type from the picture. But I would rather think that it is a Regelbau 621.

The reason for this is, that all the 622's in the strongpoint were poured in 1943, and the bunker on the picture hasn't been covered with earth, yet. So my guess is that it had only recently been finished.

And a 621, Bauwerk 75024, "östlich Flagruko" was poured on 16.-17.3.1945. So, my guess is that the is the one we see on the picture.

Best regards
Jens

I think the picture is taken after the war. The trees, and a small hut at the 621 show traces of at big eksplosion.
That happend after the war, when a pile land mines exploded.

[Jens Andersen]

Yes, the picture was definitively taken post war for the reasons you mention. The mines exploded on 7 June 1945.
