Top right: : Breskens 06
69 in a
R 134, the number 501 is not correct! This bunker was renumbered
from 87 to 69! Top left: Breskens 06 64 in a R 134.Left: Breskens 06 84
inside a R 134. |
All
bunkers in the Stp.Gr. Breskens were renumbered for unknown
reasons. This is also called the "rule of 18", so old number
minus 18 = the new number. Exeption is the Breskens 06 84,
this number is probably repainted after the war where
66-18=48 in stead of 84. |
