StP Brunhilde is a special one with the Tobruk room transformed in a ammo room
The Tobruk apears to be constructed separated from the bunker so we can skip this one from the list

Jean , it s StP Dogge , the other one is a 630 but the VF LAG isn t identified as such
its possible though
it could be this one
but this photo was marked 630 by Hans Sakkers
although a few years back we identified it as a 630 ....
00 1a.jpg
it looks very similar as the other 630 no?
at the left of the sharte there is the pronounced square part which is typical for the Vf LAG... so i'm not so convinced it's a 630, neither I am shure about it being a Vf LAG... but it has the typical square left (or right in some cases) of the sharte....

the VF is much smaller than a 630 Jean
so if this is a LAG and not an MG it should be imense in the interior so another model and we can t take it up in the list
PS the left bunker we have many pictures so this is confirmed as a 630 (photos by Hans sakkers, Jos Vogel et Johan den Hollander in the eighties

Kriemhilde for me also a 219 or maybe 612 it is certainly a St
but my aerial picture is not that good but it is bigger than a 134 .... also there is a OB next to it so that is why i think 612 and SHM gives a photo there of a 612 .....
Both are photografed by SHM

what do you mean ?
We visited it a long time ago and the measures we took correspond with the Leo type , also the interior pictures give the same layout
i even have interior pictures ....
00.jpg
and a picture of PF where we good can see the strange ammo room placement
00 1.jpg
the only thing i can think of is the concrete block in the gun opening
the germans made that smaller and that is the only thing (not measured because i thought it was installedafter the war) but remember this was in the early nineties so ...
do you have a plan of it ?
