Tom Oliviers Posted 28 November , 2022 Share Posted 28 November , 2022 (edited) hello, Yesterday we went to the Siegfried-stellung near brancourt in the AOK 7 area, we found a lot of nice bunkers but one bunker had twoo such cariages poured in the concrete, i dont find any matching weapon for those? i looked for MG, revolverkanone, and the 5cm kanone, but none of those seems to fit? there are also two large ammunition rooms next to each scharte.

Tom Oliviers Posted 7 December , 2022 Author Share Posted 7 December , 2022 Ok, we went back to this bunker last sunday for measurments (two weeks in a row, driving first day 2x 270km and a week later again 2x 270km to measure this bunker exactly) Fun to see the difference between the first sketch (on sight, not measured at all) and the second plan which was measured. From now on i gonna measure everything instead of sketching. The first sketch. without measurements The measured bunker. notice the front wall with a thickness of 110cm!

Tom Oliviers Posted 7 December , 2022 Author Share Posted 7 December , 2022 (edited) Another structure we found in the Brancourt-Stellung. Its a troop-bunker type Wellblech with an tunnel dug in the rocks integrated in the structure. The entrance was a very tight fit after more than 100 years. We also measured the structure, the stollen-eingang is collapsed after some meters, we did not measure that part because it was very instable.
