This looks like the design for the 632 at Gare Maritime. Bauwerk 7.

Nice to see in your plan the special entrance (typical Cherbourg)

Nice photo, it's a 61P8 Dreischartenturm (120mm thickness).

Good evening guys

I have now done some further investigation of the 632 at Skagen, and some very interesting discoveries were made. Yet another different design of the 632, with the entrance to the turret placed in the centre of the crew room. The room under the turret is circular with no recess, but the most interesting part is that the Dreischartenturm is still there! A very nice 60P8, pretty much intact! To me it is the first time I have heard or seen a 60P8 installed on the Atlanticwall, but maybe someone can correct me.
Besides that, it looks like the other Danish 632’s with 2x HES 2,4 dedicated for the turret and a HES 1,2 for the rest of the bunker! No periscope was found!
Attached please find some pics.
