Still trying to find out if there is any truth in the rumour of German forces operating the guns.
All the same hope you find the pictures of interest,

Those guns are in such very nice condition (grafitti

Typical "security"-- weld the MAIN doors shut... but leave the side "doors" open!

As I always tell my wife when she rolls her eyes when I try to get into football stadiums for a peek around, they ALWAYS leave one door or gate open - you just need to find it!
