D - 2 x S-381 Munitiosauffülraum für 38/40.6cm Batterie.
Two separate bunkers with three main rooms each to hold the guns main ammunition.
Due to the fact that these were captured French guns, probably the only ammunition available was from French stock. The German ammunition factories already turning out huge amounts of materiel. May not have added 340mm French ammunition to their inventory.

Details

A nice IGN 1953 photo of the bunkers. It looks as though the garage roof had already gone and only the three walls have survived. The narrow gauge railway can be seen running between the bunkers via a block of concrete. This was for a crane to off load ammunition from railway wagons, onto the narrow gauge and then shunted into the bunkers. Either one or the other.
