Ik was Hoping maybe in Norway there would be examples Left?

At Flugplatz Haamstede we found one or more Tobruks with bricked pedestals in the middle.
Not movable but these have the same use.

Hi all,
From the Tobruk of a Type 633 in Norway.
Apart from the home made MG mount there is also the remains of a wooden floor or platform to give the gunner extra height.
Regards,
Malcolm

Re: Steps in tobruks
Found this combo inside a Ringstand. On top is a concrete stone as used for field fortifications, but does anyone recognize the metal thing? Looks like part of something else (oven???).

Re: Steps in tobruks
I think you're right Kurt.
The document below from gyges.dk
mentions a 30x30 cm wooden box
20 cm in height.
