The battery consisted of 2X20.3cm K.(E) railway
guns and different types of Flak and Pak.
There were 134, 610 and four 622 types of
bunkers.
The R119 mentionned here could in fact be a R610.
Part of German Plan situating the Stp687E
Plan was made October 10 1943.
Gps
Track and Waypoint plan. I will assign the numbers later.
Transmission bunker. N°1
May 9, 2004: Today I found out that the
bunker has been demolished.
Again a piece of WWII history which is
gone forever.
I don't know for what reason this has been
done.
R. Toussaint standing at the entrance. Door is in front of it.
Door
of transmission bunker in relatively good shape.
Climbing on the Church tower you have a nice
view on the bunkers of Stp687e, but some are hidden behind the trees.
Part of the Leitstand, tobruk, 1 AA emplacement
en two R622's and some ammuniction storages are visible.
At the top you can see the concrete remnants
of the Leitstand.
At the time, spring 2002 a house was build
around it.
Gun
emplacement close to the Leitstand.
Tobruk,
also close to the Leitstand.
Probably
restplace or ammunition depot.
R119 bunker. This one has been camouflaged
intensly. See also other pictures,
there is still some evidence visible.
The battery was destroyed on September 8 1944
when the Germans were leaving.
Brick motive at this entrance. At the
right of the entrance you can still vagely
see that a window was painted here.
The whole battery must have been camouflaged in a residence area.
Brick
motive on one of the exploded blocks.
The observation tower probably stood on the roof of the R119. It is rather unique to find this on a R119.
Other view of the R119 with the obsevation tower next to it.
Two R622 Gruppenunderstand. One heavy
damaged and the other only slightly damaged.
These R622's don't have a tobruk installed
on their side. They are slightly different of the standard R622's.
Other
view on the two R622 bunkers.
Left entrance of the first R622 bunker of previous picture. Still some paint to see.
