Hi,
Below are 2 photos of a 5cm KwK 39 which is said to be a rare design which was not proceded with and only a few were produced (???).
3 such examples were to be found in the Channel Islands with 1 at Wn. La Motte A on Jersey on the emplacement also shown below and 2 on Guernsey which were both mounted in Type L414A (the only 2 on the Atlantikwall!) found at Wn Gabelsberg and Wn. Perleburg.
Jos has posted in the past that the mounting may be a French naval mount for the 7.5cm 97(f)
Regards,
Malcolm
