obat46 Austria

[MarkSheppard]

Here's an operational M47 Turret picture for LBM use -- if you google "Feste Anlage", you get some good stuff.

And a "cleverly" disguised centurion (I think) turret inside a fake house. I Have no idea how you'd represent this; but... still cool.

According to the Austrian Army's page:

http://www.bundesheer.at/cms/artikel.php?ID=3655

This is a T-34/85 being pulled out of it's casemated bunker shelter for restoration. Thickness of the bunker wall(s) was 60 cm of concrete.

Some more research has uncovered some more Austrian Bunkerized stuff:

75mm FAn M-24 with PzK L40 (from M-24 Chaffees)

24 x 15.5 cm FAn SFK M2 Long Tom (Pic Attached).

60 x 4 cm FAn FLAK 55-57 Bofors specifically along the Danube river in fixed positions to kill anything on the river. All removed 1998. (Pic of a 4 cm bunker from the inside).

24 x 10.5 cm FAn LFH 18/40 (see attached pic)

7.5cm rückstoßfreie Panzerabwehrkanone M20 -- apparently installed in special 100mm thick cupolas with an opening at the rear for use of the recoilless system.

7.62cm FAn PAK M42

Charioteer Panzerturme 105mm Upgrade: In addition to receiving the 105mm M68 gun, they also received 300 to 400mm of add-on armor.

7.62mm FAn MG-42: In enclosed armored dome.

12.7mm FAn Browning: In enclosed armored dome.
