Re: 5 cm KwK emplacement
the second 5 cm Kwk is the type one entrance 4 niches
and the plan of the soccle beton fundament
So hope to go further this evening with the explanations for the history and development of the 5 cm KwK5 cm KwK emplacement in use
Just a tought that came into my mind:
let us take the two side entry 5cm stand, it has three amo storage spaces in the wall facing the enemy. This would mean that the crew had to crawl between the shield and enemy fire to get the amo out these spaces ?

Hello Dirk,
the now gone offenet Bettung of Wn 153 ( KVA C - Tardinghen - Dunes du Châtelet) was a type with 8 bolts and a squared pit of +/- 50cm side.

Re: 5 cm KwK emplacement
Hi wim, in that case they had to rotate the gun 90 or 180 degrees.

I know but it seems so unlogical to turn your protecting armor away to load your gun or at least get your amo out of storage.der bunkermann wrote:Hi wim, in that case they had to rotate the gun 90 or 180 degrees.

Most of the german designs are well thought of.
Thanks,

Re: 5 cm KwK emplacement
wim, it's a 360 degrees emplacement, the chance of an enemy approaching directly in font of the bunker (thus making 3 niches unreachable) is not predictable .
if the bettung was not placed on top of a 600 (in wich there was a ammoroom) there was to be an ammo bunker nearby.
the niches are just for a hand supply of munition...

Re: 5 cm KwK emplacement
So we know that the three niches emplacement is the oldest (could be the VF 9a)
we also know that a second entrance is an option and this could entrance can be transformed in a niche
so that skips a few models
three niches and four .... same family
six and seven niches ..... same family
We know they have to determine in advance which type of soccle they are gonna use or which system they are going tu use to fix the canon

Re: 5 cm KwK emplacement
Lets work a bit on the nr 1694 ....
it was found in the Nara archives in America
here we see what that gives two times we see 1694 and 5 cm KWK
but on the same documents we found here is only written 5 cm KwK so why this difference ?
Lets take a closer look at the last one we can hardly read something but it is 667 ...
and here nowhere is written 1694 ...
remember the same source of documents

Re: 5 cm KwK emplacement
so they are planning to build here a 667 ... like the germans did everywhere in the AW
We find everywhere the VF 9 and next t it a 667 but not here in the 15 KVA B so its logical they gonna put here also 667
so here lies the secret
They arent intrested at al in what iwas there constructed but what to do for switching the gun
so in some cases they wrote simply 5 cm KwK and in other cases they wrote 5 cm KwK 1694
We went looking in the field there and found that there where the oldest type of emplacement (the three niche , two entrances)
so we went to look if we can t find anything with nrs like 169x
the VF 9 is a very old name (early 1942 ) and nrs like 169x we found wher in the last part of 1944
so there is really no connection ...
Here we found the nr 1695 it s a document for constructing sockellafette SK LIc for 7,5 cm KwK
we know that a Sk LIc can be used also for a 5 cm KwK
here we can give you 1696 so these nrs are connected with a technical design for fixing the faffette in wood , concrete etc
here a list of guns for the Sk LIc so it would have to do anything with this
