The R608 of Couarde-sur-mer 1 KVA D Ro418

Post by dterrier » 03 Aug 2015, 14:48

Hello,

At this moment I search all the blockhaus build at Il-de-Ré on the earials of 1950 and 1963 of IGN.
But i could not find the R608 and the R622 of Ro418 of Couarde-sur-mer.

Can someone give me a hint?

Thanks


Dirk T.

Hello Dirk

The 608 and 622 were camouflaged as houses with fake roofs , should be near the vacation park Le Belvedere.
Information from the book "Fortifications sur l"Ile de Re" , the map is from Lenco v.d. Weel .

Regards Jos

Hello,

I have found the R608. The 622 is still ?????

It's nearby the "Place de Belvédère" nord of the Tennis fields.

The R608 has the same shape as shown in the book of AC

There's the same shape on a spot on the corner, as on the 608.

Hello,

The list of the 1 Armee wasserversorgung indicate that only a R608 was build on Ro 418.

From archive of Dirk Peeters :

In the archive of DRAC at Poitier also only the R608 was found.

Regards,


Dirk
