Stützpunkt Dorade - FA HWB Unterstände

This battery can be found behind the "Ferme Vermaelde" farm and is only accessible via a small country road. It contains two 671 type bunkers camouflaged as houses. On one of them the "ST" mark is still clearly visible just left of the two armored doors. Some light wellblechs can be found in the vicinity of the two bunkers.

This was the 4th battery of Heeresküstenartillerie Abteilung (HKAA) 1244, with 4 Russian 7.62/8,8 cm Klak M31 guns.
