German Sniper with a K98 ZF41

Not posting it here because it shows the side shield of the helmet which may or may not contain nazi symbols that are not allowed in Germany.

Nice, Crusader Gun Tractor, and fitted out for wading. Can't say i've seen many period pics of 'em, certainly not in Normandy.

Well camouflaged MG and AT bunker guarding a tram line. From the first defensive line around Ghent (but located in Oosterzele), Belgium as it was in 1940. It was armed with a Maxim machinegun and a 47mm AT gun.


The blueprints of the bunker.


And the bunker in 2006.

Woah! An entire house built around it, really clever. I've seen from pictures that in Normandy they painted bunkers in the same colours as villas, with the wooden crossing planks painted on it etc. but this is way better and more expensive/time consuming.

Yes, a lot of the first line defence bunkers where i live had a brick outer wall built around then and real roofs. The wooden panels covering what should have been a window would just swing open just to reveal a mg or at gun. REALLY good camouflage you could say. At this location we also held the German army for a whole 3 days, just to hear the country had surrendered.

Those bunkers where build prewar, and were finished at around 1935, so i guess time wasnt really a problem then.

Reminds me of those swiss defense works, they had bunkers that looked like ski huts and could be turned 360 degrees.
