5cm KwK gun would have fitted in this Bf66 Ringstand. With a 360° view around the rear of the casemates, they would have seen the Canadian infantry and tanks, advancing out of the valley attacking the batterie, after a bombing raid and a huge artillery barrage.

KSS kable bunker. This is a protective bunker for the cables to be connected from the fire control, to the bunkers and to the artillery head quarters.

6 x 7.5cm Flak M33(f) guns. There were six 7.5cm French captured and re used anti-aircraft guns. These looked as though they were in earth, railway sleeper type emplacements, rather than concreted emplacements.

StP182 Admiral. Not exactly sure but I think its an SK/Munitions store. A KSS kable bunker, to connect up with HQ and the guns. Two Tobruk defences covering the area.
