Hello Jos

It looks very much like the Zoo Flakbunker / Tiergarten Berlin.

Hello Jos

So do I - so do I :lol:

Apparently also this one - I checked - it is the Volkspark Humboldtshain Flaktower, and that due to the pattern (white stipes) painted on the gunplatform - its also on other pictures of HHain.

Regards
Kurt

Hi Jos,
Thanks for sharing, but I'm not sure that my bid would be more than 1 cent.
The antenna dish looks OK, but look how neat the cabin and supporting arm appears compared to the rest of the picture. I'm not sure, but looks as a case of photo-montage.

Hi SES

There are several photo's from the same seller http://shop.ebay.de/fitje.2/m.html?_nkw ... ksid=p4340 but you could be right , but I know that the W.R. on the Leitturme were special because they could be lowered inside the Leitturm.

Hi Jos,
No doubt the same place and same W-R. The first picture you posted has been electronically enhanced, the gamma value has been changed, just compare the sky and clouds.
