I can now say I have found (with the help of MKB Bunkertour) part of the remains of Ca04. The picture was taken around 1946/7 and all that can be seen are these trenches starting to be filled in. I have added where the defences were.

Information

Details

The R600 ringstand can be seen very well on this 1966 Remonterletemps photo. It covers the entrance to Ca04 from the north and also can cover the 7.5cm field gun towards the sea. The Tobruk and other bunkers have been filled over by this date and since houses have been built.
3 - 5cm KwK L60.
5 - Vf58c Tobruk.

Details

I have added the R600 on the corner, the Tobruk and a Vf2a small bunker to where I think they were situated. There was one more Vf type bunker somewhere. There probably would have been trenches between all these bunkers and another leading out to the 7.5cm Field Kannon as seen on the 1946 air photo.

This is the area of Wn Ca04.

Details

The remains of the R600 ringstand that has been left here as a flower bed. This is the rear of the ringstand and the gun would have been more out into the roadway. The triangulated area is the roof of a small ammunition room. The roof has been removed and filled with earth.

How it may have looked with its two entrances and an earlier 5cm KwK L42 38 gun.

The area now remaining as a flower bed.

Details

Plan by Kurt of an R600b ringstand for a 5cm KwK L/60. You would enter via a trench system and step up to the ringstand. Ammunition ready room on your right and then climb the three steel steps into the ringstand gun space. The gun would fit down into the square hole and bolted onto the ring. Possibly a crew of four, gun aimer, gun loader, spare man to get ammunition and the guns commander. Usually a slightly higher rank of Corporal.

With the sea to the left and looking north, this is the area of the 7.5cm gun and its ammunition bunkers on the left side by the post. There seems nothing left here..

This is the area of the 7.5cm gun.

The gun would have been part of a horse drawn batterie.
