A very interesting museum near the Pas de Calais. It`s in a former german heavy artillery bunker which gave the name. On display uniforms, equipment, weapons from all countries who fight in the European Theater during World War II. They show off one of two german K-5 railway-guns (the second one is at Aberdeen), but in bad condition. If the weather is good you could have a look at Dover at the other side of the chanel.

Thank you for posting. While many of our stateside members enjoy seeing the museums of Europe, we still need to see some US content to have this included on this Forum. Please post photos of any US gear that might be on display there.

Gil,

In the light of the new "Spoils of War" forum, you could look at this as one of the bigger spoils of war. The US captured it and liberated this part of France...

Gil, no problem. Thought you might be interested in a view at the museum and the great bunker where the guns are in. Here are some pictures from american staff there.
