german costal artillery

[wittmann]

Hello all,
I'm interessed in the german costal artillery and I would like to know if there is a good web site about it.
I'm looking too for nice picture of RK winners in the costal artillery.

Thanks.
Best regards.Wittmann

Salut
www.nuav.net has a very good article on the coastal artillery of Festung Norwegen you might be interested in. I think i have also seen one or two French sites on the Atlantic wall. Try doing a search on one of the search sites, you should find something pretty easily.
If you are interested in the RK holders of the naval coastal artillery then you might be interested in obtaining the two volumes dealing with 'above' water naval RK winners in the ritterkreuzträger series published by biblio-verlag and available amongst other places at www.detlev-niemann.de


hope this helps
