Equipment

 

There are hundreds of different types of standardized bunkers, so called Regelbau. These are categorized by Heer (army), Luftwaffe (airforce) or Marine (navy), and by function.

In addition, there are a lot of Sonderkonstruktion (specialconstuction), which are made specially to, for instance, a coastalbattery. Some bunkers are also known as Vf's. Vf is abbreviation for Verstärkt feldmessig, which means field reinforced.

 

Later on, there will be some more information about the following bunker-types;

 

L401 - Emplacement for 8,8 cm Flak gun

L402 - Emplacement for 2 cm Flak gun

L403 - B II fire control post for heavy anti-aircraft battery

L404 - B I fire control post for heavy anti-aircraft battery

L405a - Radar bunker

L406a - Machinery bunker for generator and 150 cm searchlight

L407a - Ammunition bunker for heavy anti-aircraft battery

R501 - Group-shelter for a group of 10 men

R607 - Ammunition bunker II

R608 - Battalion & regimental headquarters

R622 - Twin group shelter for two groups of 10 men

R634 - 6-embrasured turret bunker

R667 - Small casemate for 5 cm KwK (Kampf Wagen Kanone)

R671 - Casemate for medium pivoting guns

R680 - Casemate for 7,5 cm Pak 40

 

Here is one of the two R671 at Varnes, with the original K332(f) canon.
