H.K.A.A. 769
Hello All
Found some information on the "Heeres-Küsten-Artillerie-Abteilung 769" , started in Belgium with
command post in Wenduyne and with three batterie's with all 4 x 10.5 cm K.35 (t) in 1942 this unit
recieved new guns , each battery with 3 x 17 cm K.18 i. Mrs.Laf. and was placed in the south sector
of Pas de Calais . The photo's from the 17 cm K 18 guns from Ebay are from the 2./769 at Berck-Nord
later on these guns would be placed in the 689 at Berck. The new name of this unit was 6./1245 .
Regards Jos

Hello Alex
If you read well the 17 cm K 18 were called 21 cm Morsers and the places are fairly mixed up by the seller .
From what I can see the 10.5 cm K 35 (t) were made at the Belgium coast and the 17 cm K 18 were made
at Berck Nord

I'm not sure, but it might have been vacated to Zeebrügge by march 1943 according to the british intelligence report which the photos were attached to:Manuferey wrote:What battery was it in Wenduyne?
Re: H.K.A.A. 769
The photo's from Natter are also from Barbara, the only H.K.B. on the Belgium coast with 15.5 cm K.416 (f)
all other 5 H.K.B. had 15.5 cm K.418 (f) . As in the info the H.K.B. was moved from Wenduine to Zeebrugge .
Photo = Atlantikwall 1942/44

Re: H.K.A.A. 769
ok, Jos, no problem - but all other batteries of HKAA 823 had 15,5 cm K. 416 (f) too
(or do you mean that too with HKB Barbara?)
