So..does somebody have a good source? (besides that book?)
Only one.....Do you have any other images of unfinished bunkers
They were used in Poland, and even a few was placed at the Westwall.Besides Italy,where else were these type of bunkers used
For the Panther turret, there was a cheaper "Bunker version" this is easily recognized by the missing commander copular. We had a earlier thread about these turrets, with some magnificent postings made by Javichu and Trommelfeuer.Seems like a great way to use out-dated surplus
Bunkers with one meter roof vas called Vf, and were not regarded as "bombproof" Many of the bunkers in the Normandy area came under this cathegory. To find the real bombproof ones, you have to look at the "Regelbau bunkers". They had 2 meter concrete walls and roof. These could withstand artillery and bombing for days!I've heard that german bunkers at normandy had 1m concrete roof and that it could withstand heavy allied bombing for days, is that true?
It depends on where.... The bunkers used in the flotilla bases in France and a few in Norway was very heavily armed, both with Mg copulars, M-19 automatic grenadelauncers, pak, and loads of "slits" for infantery weapons. I`m not familiar with the structure you mention here, but it sounds like a shipyard bunker? These were just for bomb protection.would you consider U-Boot bunkers fortifications
I know what you mean.......graphitti everywhere
