Turm 1 is a museum and as it is a museum, I do not wish to show lots of pictures of the displays and items they have. The photos I have used are more about showing how the casemate would have looked before it was captured and stripped of all metal items. The museum are doing a sterling job bringing the casemate alive again. Albeit without a gun in place.

A spare generator, probably not from here, oxygen bottles at the back to start the Deutz engine. Air pressure would be forced into a cylinder and the engine would start to turn, then fire and away it would go.
