Re: INFO: 5 cm KwK used in fortifications
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

Re: INFO: 5 cm KwK used in fortifications
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!
