Hello Al

books that say there was a concrete block for Wassermann at the coast ?? Who can help me ??

Sorry I don't know the source of the picture , Jos

Bonjour Joss

No, that's the two parts that stay in Ar32
I had heard/read that French found Wasserman parts in boxes at the end of the War in Ar32.
They used this to built a temporaire lighthouse.
