Few of the bunkers and FA bunkers in the sector KVU-Gr Marcouf have this marking of the 4./Komp Bau Pionier Batl 59,
how many are there still there and does somebody has photo from the ones that are disappeared ??

P.S. please note also the marking of the Fest.Pi.Stab 11 att. to the LXXXIV A.K.

Regards Jos ( Etienne Morin , Ebay and NARA )

This is the 667 (365) casemate at Stp 12 (Ravenoville St-Hubert) with its recognizable big shell impact on the left of the entrance.

Found another one on the 612 of Wn 106 Quinéville le Havre.
It must under some plaster of the snack shop.

Hello,
I think Jos’ #1 blazon comes from the same location, Wn18 Quinéville Le Havre (ex 106). It’s in the front of the 656 :
