Dins la torreta Skoda / Inside the Pz-38(t)

Per desgracia dels aficionats a la historia, aquesta foto ja no es possible, gràcies als bandals i saquejadors. Com a minim el canó ja no hi és, i a saber la resta de la torreta. Foto presa cap al any 2000 amb una Pentax analògica (SFX?).

 

Es tracta d'un bunquer-torreta construit per la Wehrmacht el 1944 per vigilar la carretera de Portbou, dins de la linea de defensa Südwall, l'equivalent pobre i mediterrani del famós Atlantikwall. En concret es tracta d'una torreta de tanc Pz 38(t) reutilitzada. Cal destacar que la torreta en questió està situada just uns pocs metres ja al vessant empordanès del la "frontera", pel que teoricament els alemanys no podien construir-hi res ja allà. Però els soldats franquistes no es varen queixar pas, tot i tenir la aduana just a 50 metres! Ja els deuria anar bé.

==============================================

 

Unfortunately this photo is no longer possible, thanks to the looters. The gun and mantlet is no longer there. Photo taken towards the year 2000 with an analog Pentax camera (SFX?).

 

It is a tank turret bunker built by the Wehrmacht in 1944 to monitor the Portbou - Cervera road, within the Südwall defence line, the poor and Mediterranean equivalent of the famous Atlantikwall. Specifically, it is a Pz 38 (t) tank turret. It should be noted that the turret in question is located just a few meters on the Empordà side of the border between the Spanish and French states (but Catalonia on both sides!!!), so theoretically the Germans could not build anything there. But Franco's soldiers did not complain, despite having the customs just 50 meters away!
