5 cm KwK emplacement

[dirk Peeters]

We find the version with one entrance and 7 niches in the seventh army (7 KVA A , 7 KVA C and 7 KVA J)

however we find one ot this series in the 15 army KVA B (StP Bruno)

so this can t be considered aqs a sevent army type anymore

we know this is the earliest design for a 5 cm KwK Bettung
Up till now found in the 1 Army and the 15 th not one in the seventh

wonder that our 1 entrance 7 niches is not the second version ?

[dirk Peeters]

the two entrances ,3 niches i have not found in the BRV (anyone knows of one in holland or Danemark ?

Hi Dirk, in Holland alot of these were built, most of them the version with one entrance but i recall in k.v.a schagen some with 2 entrances. Will search for the drawing tonight.

Nice discovery
These are early type, in holland we have some cases were a 667 was built later in the war.

[dirk Peeters]

it means that this is a VF with number x but only for this version (2 entrances and 6 niches this is a VF with zeichnung nr 88
