Stp 75 Löwe in Calais
Stp 75 Löwe in Calais
Hello everybody,
My ship works in the Port of Calais this week and I have thus a clear view of the destruction works in progress on the place of the former Stp 75 Löwe.
One of the last bunkers of the position has been dug free from the surrounding ground prior to be demolished. On the existing plans and websites, we talk about 3x R512 on the back of the position, this bunker should be one of them although the walls don't seem to exceed 0.5m on my picture.
Any idea of the type then?

Re: Stp 75 Löwe in Calais
on german maps they are marked with L ....; not at all as ST or 2 meter thick
and youre pictures are the proof that they cant be type 512 which is a bigger bunker
although it looks like on you re pictures there are two rooms in this bunker
a 50 cm VF 7a or anything like that ?
