The rear view and the large flanking walls of this bunker. Looking at old pictures of the area. Most of the casemates have two large flanking walls, front and rear like this one. The gun that would have been used was a Field Kannon of 7.5cm to maybe 10.0cm. Usually the F.K.235(b), a captured Belgian 75mm was the used a lot on the Atlantikwall.
