There were adding a concrete staircase later right? It should be fixed to the roof in this way I guess.

Hello Jos,

Some bunker have Annex in the rear area ... maybe they were cast in two parts and this is the binding site.

I think it's part of the construction method.
Door top reinforcement, pipes still visible and iron bars have not been cut yet.
Picture 1: seems to have something with a rounded top (wooden white boards?).
Picture 2: same sort of board construction
(dark wall with rounded top. Seems to fit in the stepped gap)
on rlght hand side wall. Looks like it's part
of a mould/form. I'll try ask locally.

One of the R671 bunkers at Hirtshals-West has a steep stairway entrance added at the back. I would guess it's the one we see being constructed in this OT-report?

There are three 671 with additional stairs though, could be any of those.

You're right. Three of four R671 has additional steps in the back (one is buried and one is closed off, so my photos fooled me :-) ).
