R105c Machine Gun Casemate.
This was a huge bunker and all it had was a heavy machine gun. The type of bunker was based on a Westwall style. Note that the flanking wall has been extended by about two thirds.

R105c Machine Gun Casemate.
On the roof of the R105c were small concrete blocks all around the top, these were used to support earth and grass laid on the top to stop it falling off and this would have helped camouflaged the bunker.

The house must have been used as an observation post as it is so prominent with high windows all around. There were trenches around the back and a ring of Tobruk's.
