(Pz-Türme) tankturrets on Rs at the Südwall

#1

Post by erik1939-1945 » 22 Jan 2007, 16:44

hello

i just arrived back froma nice & warm trip to the Südwall. we managed to visit the coastline from the spanish-french boarder ( col de balitres) up to Montpellier.

As one of our guides the book "Atlantikwall-Südwall" was used:
according to this book some tankturret should be still in place until "today" ?

in the visited sector we know / found so far:
Col de Balitres: Rs with 38 (t)
St Pierre: Rs with R35

we missed (didnt find)/ needing updates on the follwing places:

Plage des Elmes = Pz II turret (info AW/SW book image page 298/info page 300)
-->> today still in place ?

Pz II image page 297
-->> where is this taken ? and still there today ?

any update / help is highly welcome
greetings

erik R

hello

Col de Balitres
the guns was already "gone" in 2005 during my first visit !

Le Perthus
the typical shape on top of the Rs "says" that there was a 38 (t) installed - and no panther !

greetings

Hi Erik, the form of the 38(t) was not a square, it had a different shape.
Thanks for the nice pictures.
Greetings Jack

Pz II image page 297

Plage des Elmes (the Panzer II is out since more years (in the past is on the top of wood of the hospital !)

Le Perthus + col de la Perche + Hendaye + Sud of Toulouse = 4 Panther V
