Information

StP123 Mülheim Calais Digue Royale ouest

Details

As far as I can see, this site was a Flak site covering a band of the countryside from just behind the sand dunes and some inland batteries. The guns 2cm and 3.7cm Flak could also be used as ground defence and for AA cover over a vast area with railway guns and heavy gun batteries under their protection.

Railway gun.

2cm Flak 30.

3.7cm Flak 38.

Details

A 1945 photo of the steps up the flak tower. I see there were hand rails running up each side and what look like railway lines running up the steps to draw a gun/searchlight up the emplacement.

820773 The exact purpose of the railway lines embedded in the steps leading to the parapetted roofs of the blockhouses cannot be ascertained (? for mounting small radar in connection with rly battery) from the reference on WO 33/1831.

This looks like an air strike from above and to the right, cannon shell maybe. The bunker looks as though it was here and somebody decided to add a flak position on its roof and as you see. The flak wall is made of different materials and at a different time.
