Hello,

Could our native Geran speakers confirm (or not) something ?

"Kw.K.5-Stand"
Does the "5" belong to the KwK (caliber) or the Stand (nummer) ?

I think it's for the Stand but I prefer to ask.

Regards

difficult to say, but i think Ties is right.
looking at the shape of the farms, it's north holland.
something like this: (this one is probably to high and the view don't match but there are more places like this)
edit: the gate does match!
