What unit manned MKB Seebahnhof ? MKB Seebahnhof does not appear in the list of MKBs of the MAA 260. Could it have been then a battery of a Marine Flak Ableilung ?

But once the guns were casemated and could not be used as Flak anymore, would they still be manned by a Marine Flak unit or by a unit more trained to fire at naval targets ? :?

Hello Manu

The batterie Seebahnhof was manned by troops of the HaKo Cherbourg ,
just like the M.K.B. Quai d' Escale and Zentralmole in Le Havre were
manned by HaKo Le Havre , these batteries were inside the Harbours.
