On this NARA document you can see a M.B. "Frascati" with 2 x guns from early 1944 ,
this Ebay picture I have placed a while ago on Axis . I know 1 + 1 = 2 is not always correct
but who has more information on this naval coast battery at Le Havre ??

Regards Jos

Named after a famous hotel in Le Havre?

Interesting find, Jos ! :thumbsup:

I'm trying to understand if the NARA document points out to 2 x 7,5 + 2 x 10,5, not just to 2 x 7,5. :?

Here is an aerial view of the area around Hotel Frascati in 1930's. The hotel is the big building on the left. We can also see the semaphore on the right, that we see again on Jos' picture with the gun.

Thanks Emmanuel

Could it be the 2 x 7.5 cm K.M. 08 (f) reused from the Quai d'Escale after they recieved 2 x 10.5 cm S.K.C/32U ??

Jos,

Does the document explain what the 3 columns on the right represent?
