622 based SK machinegun bunker Schoondijke

[der bunkermann]

Came across this nice bunker at Schoondijke (Holland).
Rooms and entrance resemble 622..

Makes me wonder if it was built somewhere else, and how it's called in the BFM?

we found a few 622 altered or variations but never seen this MG stand alike
however a 622 PC version has a dividing wall in the rooms
here is also small room added

Hello Dirk

Not 1 but 3 such 622SK were built inside Stp Schoondijke.
They were built very late in the war: there is nothing to see yet on the air pictures from May 1944 and they are still under construction on the air pictures from July 1944.
They were in fact 5 SK MG bunkers ( with 2 firing loopholes) build in half a circle to protect the west side of this Regimental Headquarter. 3 of the 5 were combined with 622 bunkers ( built at the same time).

Hi Dirk,
It is an error. The draftsman saw a 610 and thought it was a 622 without even going inside and did the drawing. It does not exist.

There was in Nz 435 a typical bunker the core of this bunker looks like a 622 and has also many Mg post , Regards Jos

Wow that is really a beast!
Wat was the purpose/function?

[jopaerya]

Thanks Dirk

On top of the MG blocks there were two light flak emplacements, looking at the number Nz 435 it must be a Kriegsmarine Stp.

Regards Jos

right about the flak Jos
