Tom Oliviers Posted 3 February , 2022 Share Posted 3 February , 2022 (edited) I'm looking for pictures or technical drawings of the guns of the batterie Oldenburg so i can try to draw them in 3D on this little project. The bunker and the camo i allready have drawn with sketchup. Special thanks to Alain van Geeteruyen for delivering the old plans of this once mighty gunbunker. It was equiped with an 17 cm S.K .L.40 i.M.P.L. C-02 gun Every addition info is welcome, as well as other bunkers which stood nearby (perhaps?) Those pictures are not under creative commons this time. (sorry, just enjoy!) Best regards Tom Oliviers Edited 3 February , 2022 by Tom Oliviers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egbert Posted 4 February , 2022 Share Posted 4 February , 2022 Tom, I need to check out something. Would you please pinpoint the place where you think "Oldenburg" in WW1 was located on any kind of modern or old map please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Oliviers Posted 4 February , 2022 Author Share Posted 4 February , 2022 I only have this info about this battery: Manned by the 2. M.A.R., Nahkampfgruppe Mariakerke, 4x17cm SKL 40 iMPL c/02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Oliviers Posted 4 February , 2022 Author Share Posted 4 February , 2022 (edited) here it was i think, as i remember, Alain once told me that this battery was the first with the bunkers spread in two groups of two gunbunkers, and not on a line, a precessor of the future battery's in wo2... if i look on the trenchmap of scotland (https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/print/#zoom=16&lat=51.20169&lon=2.87009&layers=101464834&b=1), i see 2x 2 gunpositions on the airfield (blue dots), with a lot of other structures arround (orange dots) Edited 4 February , 2022 by Tom Oliviers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
