Hello,

Here some mysterious foundation.

It is charateristic to every 4 x 10.5 cm KM Sperrbatterie placed at Hel Peninsula (Hela). It is positioned near guns positions, slightly behind them. I don't believe in theories saying that it might have been the foundation for a searchlight. Firstly, the lightwave would enlight gun positions from behind while shooting to sea targets, secondly searchlights would have posed a nice target, so it was rather irrational to place them so close to the guns.

Does anyone have any idea what the purpose of the depicted object might have been? Or seen anything similar in Norway, Denmark, Germany, France, The Netherlands?

Best regards,
M.

Hello Beaviso

I saw the bettungen on a other Topic ,
never saw them in a M.F.B. in the Atlantik Wall
I agree with you that this is not for searchlight.
My best gues is that it is a bettung for a 2cm Flak 30
in a Sockel-Laf 29.
Can you help me with a drawing of the 10,5cm Sk C/32
flakbettung in Poland

Hi,

Erik E., very nice picture, thank :D It is yet small problem - Flakleitstand in Munkholmen has 6-meter range-finder. All Flakleitstand in Gdynia had 4-meter range-finder. 6-meter range-finder were applied only onto Hel Peninsula (Hela) :( Yet there Flakleitstand were completely different.

Hello Akali

The Driewag- or the Kleinkoggerat were under the panzer ,
that was the same in al the Flakleitstanden only the range finder
is different .
You can see on your pictures that the iron casting of the rang finder
is smaller than the on at M.F.B. Munksholmen.
If you need more info e-mail me.

make it right and put it in the Topic Flak.
The foto s are very good Akali . I know

Hi jopaerya

From my information it results, that in Gdynia she was only one battery armed in 12,8 cm - Flakbattery Gdynia-Kolibki (Gotenhafen-Koliebken). Former what least two such cannon - as well as some 10,5 cm.
Pictures are weak, flakbettungen is partly covered the ground. You have to wait to spring, we will her clean.

M.F.B. Völtzendorf (Gdynia-Chwarzno) was armed in 4 x 10,5 cm, not 12,8 cm !!!!

Regards,
Alkali

P.S.
You have photographer of such FL 184 Flakleitstand ?

In total, 3 commanders of Gotenhafen KM Flak batteries received Knight's Crosses!
- Kdr. Flakbatterie Voeltzendorf (Gdynia-Chwarzno) posthumously
- Kdr. Flakbetterie Lensitz (Łężyce)
- Kdr. Flakbatterie Sagorsch / Rahmel (Rumia-Zagórze, Markowiec)
And the Co. of the whole Gotenhafen KM Flak also received one.

They were awarded for their courage in defending Gdynia from attacking Russian and Polish troops (tanks). As for me, it's better they failed ;)

brgds, M.
