Tobruk Bunker
Tobruk Bunker
is this a typical Tobruk bunker?
At least it does have the same Room Arrangment as this one:

The original wooden door is still intact!.

And here's one Bunker whose pourpuse I'm not sure about. It has two Entrances, one temporary blocked, and the other one heavily modified (made larger) Since it was used as a workshop after the War, the interior was also very modified. The modifications included that the owners teared down a long rectangular wall/room leading in from the blocked Entrance. The Bunker also have Steel hoists in the Roof and a another object hanging from the wall that *could* be original.

Hello jopaerya!
Thanks again for picture and information! Do you know if the Ringstand 58c was a very common used bunker in this part of Europe? And could the other bunker be some sort of storage or First aid bunker, since it has no scharten?
Regarding the "OT 1943" it's actually found on 3-4 other bunkers in the same area!

Hi Valtoro
According to the Organisation Todt from 1942 till 1944 there were
Lappland 39 ringstanden
Nord Norge 134 ringstanden
Mid Norge 160 ringstanden
South Norge 230 ringstanden
On the buildingprogramlist from 1944 and 1945 there were a lot of
58c planned , for your bunker it looks like a personel bunker , but it
could also have a other function.
Regards Jos

The Vf personell bunker looks similar to the ones found a couple of other places around there.
When we finally summarize what we saw over there, I can provide some measuremenst you could use for a cross check.....
As for the Tobruk, I agree with Jos on the 58c. This is by far the most common type in Norway.

Hi,
In my opinion Ringstands is one of the most complex and diverse subjects in the history of fortfications during WW II. I have scratched the surface here:
http://www.gyges.dk/Ringstande.htm
it should provide a baseline to what's "normal", but there are multiple variations.
