La Rochelle StP 230 U (UBB)

[dirk Peeters]

when we look at some old pictures we see huge antennas on the roof of the UBB La Rochelle
Could it be that they are german
It seems they are already on the roof by the end of the war
The oldest airpicture that we can see them dated from 1946
has anyone more info?

here SHM pictures where we can see them

a detail

this is also a SHM picture
and we see the antenna isn t exactly nzw
So all this gives me the impression of being german

the oldest airial picture where we can see them is from 1946

Here are the antennasupports still on the roof
I haven t been on the roof so no measurements has been taken

Its constructed right beside on of the Tobruks 69 there
any one has sugestions or more info?
nowhere i can find anything in books written about la Rochelle

Dirk

[dirk Peeters]

we have found more pictures
this time from the landside
Three antennas where placed here
The pictures are from the book of Paul Virilio "Bunkerarchao"

so this means seven antennas placed on the roof
4 in the front
3 in the back

[dirk Peeters]

if we look closer we find two small antennas also on the roof (see the red markers)

really i m glad with this discovery

I heard rumours that i use pictures of P Fauvin here , The two on the roof of the UBB they should be of a certain Fauvin which i have never seen or spoken ....
I can say these pictures are found of a forum and are NOT placed there by mr Fauvin
because i haven t renewed my inscription there i can t search freom who they really are
I knew that P Fleuridas and W Meingen also visited that roof and i mostly think it are their pictures so if they belong to somebody i think its to the group of St Nazaire
But is this really of importance ? When we can t place info or documents or pictures not for our own use but for proof of certain things and matters what can we do then ?
I just look at the cover of the book Forteresse L Rochelle written by A Chazette and P Fauvin .....
maybe the winds blows from this side

again in my archive these pictures belong to P Fleuridas and W Meingen .....
I have more then over an half million pictures if some are not in the right ordner it s quite possible but please do your demand in public
It s just a progress i wanna make
Dirk

[dirk Peeters]

under the pictures i wrote ... I have never been on the roof .... so these pictures i mentioned it clearly could not be made by my hand
i have written also if i was there they should be measured .....

Dirk you're really ruining the nice atmosphere of Axis History Forum. Great you post all these plans and info, but nobody cares about your personal issues with people, especially if we don't have a clue what you're talking about.

[dirk Peeters]

sorry AVB just wanna say that thesze pictures are not of my hand .... the rest doesn t matter here I don t wanna spoil the atmosphere here at all
just wanna make some progress and if i use a picture with a false legenda it is me to blame
That is what that all about
for me the pictures are from the groiup of St Nazaire and they are not complaining
that s all
Il continue as usual

but one thing
If all .... if there is a problem speak in public like i try to do here
discussions van make progress
Thanks

This should be La Rochelle according to the Ebay caption , but I am not so sure about that .
Who has any idea looks a transporter bridge/Pont transbordeur in the back ground ??
