I have this photo in my collection.
Does any of you recognise the location of the ringstand or even have picture of it today?
The background must be quite characteristic for this place.

Best regards

Hi,

It could be Saint Valéry en Caux in France, Upper Normandy. Please have a look on the aerial view dated 1945 from "Remonter le temps" website.

Regards from Normandy !

Thanks for your reply. The place looks very much the same.
Any chance for the ringstand to be there today or are the the place developed?

According to historical society Bunker Archéo Région Dieppe website, the ringstand could still exist : http://www.bunkarcheodieppe.com/crbst_540.html. It was a part of strongpoint VA09.
