I see a difference in the angle of the eingangshof?
The modern picture has a Sharp 90° angle, while the old picture has a big radius :roll:
Also the wall has a different height

Hello Eddy and Jos

For me it is a 612 or a 669 but I think more about a 669.
The map from april 1944 gives a 10.5cm gun for this Schartestand under construction.

I have a picture from inside this bunker looking through the Scharte and it looks like a 669. See the comparaison with the same view inside another 669 from the Belgian coast. The shadow made by the incoming sunlight shows there is an open front like we have on a 669

The garage bunker with the three 5cm guns was located more to the East under the old lighthouse.

Air picture from March 1944. The bunker is still under construction

Pierrot,

OK, the Pak garage is more to the east, so it must be a R669

thanks,

Eddy
