radar site? at Westkapelle, Belgium
Hello,
this construction is said to be (according to different sources) part of Y-Verfahren or Jagdschloss.
there was a larger bunker near a farm, but it was destroyed shortly after the war

Re: radar site? at Westkapelle, Belgium
this aerial of october 1944 shows that there was another building near the brick construction, does any one has a clue ?
years ago I found in that field a large piece of concrete I then could not place.
regards,
Cnock

Re: radar site? at Westkapelle, Belgium
antennas in the field nearby:
a local at the farm said that he remembers(?) it was a radarpost
a cable pit for telephone cables was dug near the farm when the constructions were built
may be a radio beacon for planes?
at the end of the war, light Flak was installed on the roof of the brick construction
