Default Re: Whats in a bunker?

More on turret bunkers types and configurations

Basic Type: tank stripped of the useless stuff (engine for example) and put in a concrete lined emplacement.
See this as example:

Note the concrete shelter for the crew on the right

Slight variant on the above: buried hull (I think at least)

Note the open hatch in the left, I bet that the engine space was converted in storage space for additional ammo and what not.

A more radical conversion: the hull is discarded and the turret is put in a purpose built concrete bunker. See here one built using an early T-54 turret.

Also note the bunker entrance.

Another one

Note the concrete base is shaped in such a way to protect the turret ring.

In regard to concentration typically you will not see walls of them but that does not mean that they are absolutely never grouped together

A shame to find that Russian page has the best online info about our KZh-3 object (ours are rather sparse on the info), but anyway here it is. Many interesting pictures.
