636 Pointe du Hoc

[v60pih]

I have seen the topics about the 636 on PdH here and other well known french Atlantikwall fora. It's a later version of the 636 with a heating room. Also seen the measurements drawing from 1989. I have a little discussion over here with people who claims that it is a 636a build on a 636 base.

Is there any original german documentation where we can see that the 636 on PdH is realy a 636? Buildinglists of the HKB of example?

I have somewere but were ?? a document that the base of the 636 should be extra reinforced in the front of the bunker.

Very nice document Jos. Thanks!
Do you have any document where the 636 is mentioned?

[jopaerya]

No , a other argument is that the 636a was released early 1944 in the 6. Ergänzung
and if I read the first document correct the 636 was nearly ready in 20-01-1943.
