M.K.B. Seebahnhof (Cherbourg)
Hello All
This is a photo of M.K.B. Seebahnhof , on the German list it should
be equipt with 4 x 7,5 cm Flak (f) , but on the foto there is a iron arche
above the gun not very easy for a Flak gun to fire strait up .
Who can help me with info on the gun ???
Foto = Atlantikwall from A.Chazette
Regards Jos

well Jos,
Couldnt it be that the Flakgun was used for the harbourdefense, this was a good gun for it, high muzzle velocity, quick firing and a flat line of fire (voor de nederlanders vlakbaanvuur) maybe the gun has had some modifications (offcourse a different lafette because most flak is mobile).
The Vickers 9.4 cm and 7.5 cm were also meant for Flak (I thought) but also used in M.K.B's in the Atlanticwall.

Re: mkb
I was looking for that picture because it most clearly shows the entrance below the regular entrance.moonraker wrote:hi jos,
