the number was not always on a white background,
these numbers were just painted onto the wall directly |

The
Dutch coast from north to south was divided in the sectors A,
B,
C, D
and E
being the first letter of the code. The bunkers in Hoek van Holland and
Oostvoorne all have the E numbers. H
stands for Heer (L=Luftwaffe, M=Kriegsmarine). This system seems to
originate from the 'Neue Westwall' period, after which
during the construction of the AW St program the Heer and
Kriegsmarine used the new system, the Luftwaffe seemed to
continue with the old numbering. |
