Justøya coastal artillery battery (Heeresküstenbatterie 31/979) on the island of Justøya outside Lillesand in Southern Norway, was a German army coastal battery, built between 1941 and 1945. It defended German shipping lanes and the coastline against an allied attack or invasion. The main weapons at the fort were four French 10,5 cm K332 guns with a range of 15,400 meters. The Justøya battery possesses a Regelbau 636 fire command bunker, several gun positions, for 10,5 cm guns, anti-tank guns and anti-aircraft guns as well as underground shelters and infantry defences. The fort was built by German troops, Norwegian workers and Soviet POWs.

Foto presa amb una KMZ FT-2 soviètica, fabricada el 1965; Kodak Ektar 100.
Al mig de la inmensa platja que forma la costa del Rosselló, a la Catalunya Nord, hi han unes isolades restes de la II Guerra Mundial. Es tracta del punt fortificat alemany anomenat LGS 082, o WN LGS 082. Aquest acronim significa Winderstandnest Languedoc Gruppe Sud 082, o Punt de Resistencia 082 del Grup del Sud del Llanguedoc. Estava format per diversos bunkers de personal i sobretot un gran bunker per un canó de defensa costera (tipus Regelbau 612), mirant al sud. Vers el nord, el WN estava resguardat per el riu Aglí.
Aquest bunker de la imatge comptava amb una torreta de tanc reaprofitada, probablement d'un Panzer I o Panzer II.
Obviament mai s'hi va donar cap combat, i ara és un element del patrimoni historic nordcatalà, situat dins el municipi de Torrelles de la Salanca.

Panoramic picture taken with a Soviet KMZ FT-2 camera, made in 1965; Kodak Ektar 100 film.
In the middle of the immense beach that forms the Rosselló coast, in Northern Catalonia, there are isolated remains of World War II. It is the German fortified point called LGS 082, or WN LGS 082. This acronym stands for Winderstandnest Languedoc Gruppe Sud 082, or Resistance Point 082 South Languedoc Group. It consisted of several personel & "tobruk" bunkers and especially a large bunker with a field gun, facing south. This type was the Regelbau 612 bunker. To the north, the WN was sheltered by the river Aglí.
This beach bunker was originally equiped with a light tank turret, like a Pz I or Pz II.
Obviously no combat was ever fought here, and now it is an element of the historic heritage of the North of Catalonia, located in the municipality of Torrelles de la Salanca.
Atlantikwall Regelbau M184 - Bunker With Emplacement for 15 cm SK C/28 in Drh LC/34 Naval Turret From battlecruiser "Gneisenau" in World War 2 used as coast-defense guns after the war in HAWK Battery Stevns Fort, Denmark.
Artillery position m184 bunker, fitted with an armored double turret (2 x 150mm) from the cannibalized battlecruiser "Gneisenau".
At operation Cerberus in 1942, The Gneisenau along with Scarnhorst and Printz Eugen, broke through the English Channel from Brest in France to German Harbours. In this operation, the Gneisenau was damaged by a mine. It was to be repaired in Kiel, but against all rules, it was not emptied for ammunition before docking. During this docking the ship was hit by an air attack, and a bomb exploded in the 280 mm front triple revolving gun turret A. The explosion destroyed the entire front of the ship and 112 men were killed.
In 1943 Hitler ordered (Führerbefehl) that all heavy ships, from light cruisers and onwards, should be
demolished.
He was not satisfied with their efforts. Because of this “Führerbefehl, the artillery were removed from
the heavy units and used as the armament on the Atlantic Wall. neisenau itself was sunk as a block-
ship in the harbour of Gotenhaven (Gdynia) It was scrapped by the Poles after the war.
The two turrets from the Stevns Fort were originally placed on the north part of the western Danish
island Fanoe as The Graadyb Battery. (Batteri Graadyb).
In 1952 the turrets were moved from Fanoe to their current position on the Stevns Fort.
The 15 cm SK C/28 was a German medium-caliber naval gun used during the Second World War. It served as the secondary armament for the Bismarck class and Scharnhorst-class battleships, Deutschland-class cruisers and the Graf Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers. A number of surplus weapons were used as coast-defense guns and eight were adapted to use Army carriages and used as heavy field guns as the 15 cm Schiffskanone C/28 in Mörserlafette.
Turret is Originally the guns were placed as secondary armament on the WW2 German pocket battleship Gneisenau of the Gneisenau/Scarnhorst class.
History of the Naval Turret
Surplus naval mountings were used to reinforce German coast defenses from Norway to the French Atlantic coast. These included guns from incomplete or disarmed ships like the aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin or the battleship Gneisenau. For example, three or four of the Graf Zeppelin's Dopp MPL C/36 mounts equipped both batteries of Naval Artillery Battalion (Marine-Artillerie-Abteilung) 517 at Cap Romanov near Petsamo, Finland while two of the Gneisenau's Drh. LC/34 mounts were emplaced on the west coast of Denmark at Esbjerg where they equipped Batterie Gneisenau of Naval Artillery Battalion 518. All told, a total of 111 SK C/28 guns were employed on coast defense duties in a variety of mounts, 12 in Denmark.
Surviving guns in Denmark were used throughout the Cold War by both countries.

Originally built on farmland but swallowed up by housing. Located in the Belgian town of Diksmuide. This is a huge bunker but mostly hidden, a look an an ariel photograph will reveal its size.
This 105 mm howitzer has nothing to do do with the Batterie de Crisbecq where it is exposed.

Atlantikwall Regelbau L487 Bertha - Commando Bunker for Luftwaffe Night-fighter From World War 2 1945.
Bunker L487 is a ww2 German bunker for radio measurement device evaluation for night fighter control "Bertha" in English.
The Bunker L487 communications is 22.10 meters long, 22.90 meters wide and 8.60 meters high and has two floors.
The night fighter (also known as all-weather fighter or all-weather interceptor for a period of time after World War II) is a fighter aircraft adapted for use at night or in other times of bad visibility. Night fighters began to be used in World War I and included types that were specifically modified to operate at night.
During World War II, night fighters were either purpose-built night fighter designs, or more commonly, heavy fighters or light bombers adapted for the mission, often employing radar or other systems for providing some sort of detection capability in low visibility. Many WW II night fighters also included instrument landing systems for landing at night, as turning on the runway lights made runways into an easy target for opposing intruders. Some experiments tested the use of day fighters on night missions, but these tended to work only under very favorable circumstances and were not widely successful.
Avionics systems were greatly miniaturized over time, allowing the addition of radar altimeter, terrain-following radar, improved instrument landing system, microwave landing system, Doppler weather radar, LORAN receivers, GEE, TACAN, inertial navigation system, GPS, and GNSS in aircraft. The addition of greatly improved landing and navigation equipment combined with radar led to the use of the term all-weather fighter or all-weather fighter attack, depending on the aircraft capabilities. The use of the term night fighter gradually faded away as a result of these improvements making the vast majority of fighters capable of night operation.

Der Burgberg bei Bergstein im nordrhein-westfälischen Kreis Düren ist eine 400,8 m ü. NHN hohe Erhebung der Eifel.
Auf dem Berg, wo sich im Mittelalter die Burg Berenstein befand und über den im Zweiten Weltkrieg der Westwall führte, steht der Aussichtsturm Krawutschketurm.
Im Zweiten Weltkrieg (1939–1945) wurde auf dem Burgberg im Rahmen des Westwalls eine Bunkeranlage gebaut. Bunker 370 (siehe flic.kr/p/2oopN7H ) und Bunker 371. Diese Bunker befanden sich ungefähr 8,5 km hinter der zweiten Westwalllinie bei Raffelsbrand und Simonskall.
Östlich des Berggipfels befinden sich Reste eines Unterstandes des Regimentsbauabschnitts 8 der zweiten Westwallstellung (Bunker 371). Der Bunker wurde als Gruppenunterkunft verwendet, so dass auch der – in der Hangstellung ohnehin sinnlose – Kampfraum fehlt, der zu Bauwerken des Regelbautyps 10a des Limesbauprogramms 1938 gehört. Das Dach der Anlage wurde vermutlich als Artillerie-Beobachtungsstelle verwendet und dient immer noch als Aussichtspunkt. Der Bunker selbst ist nicht begehbar, sondern dient mittlerweile als Unterschlupf für Fledermäuse.
Am Bergfuß befinden sich die Trümmer eines Gefechtsstandes des Regelbautyps 31 (Bunker 370). Die Anlage, die von alliierten Pionieren gesprengt wurde, ist ebenfalls nicht begehbar.
Im November/Dezember 1944 fand, während der Schlacht im Hürtgenwald, auf dem Berg die so genannte Battle of Hill 400 (Schlacht um Hügel 400) statt. Die Alliierten hatten den Berg auf ihren Karten als Hill 400 bezeichnet.
Während dieser Zeit lagen die Stäbe des Grenadier-Regiments 1055 der 89. Infanterie-Division und das II. Bataillon des Grenadier-Regiments 980 der 272 Volksgrenadier-Division im Bereich des Berges und seiner Bunkeranlagen.
Im Winter 1944 waren am Burgberg zeitweise die Stäbe des Grenadierregiments 1055 der 89. ID sowie des II. Bataillon des Grenadierreginemts 980 der 272. Volks-Grenadier-Division untergebracht.
