1)
In the PO's there were only machineguns and 47 mm anti-tankguns, so verly little weight.
Very often the ammunition was stored on the second floor of the casemate and thus the transport was not very complicated. A lift was not foreseen; all the transport was done by hand. If the ammunition was stored in rooms on the gallery level a pulley was used.
2)
During the war the Germans already started to strip off all the material they could use. Fortunately not all the ouvrages. They did the same in the Netherlands and Belgium.
After the war some ouvrages were sold to a business or private person. Sometimes they had something in mind what to do with the ouvrages; mostly they ended as a scrap-heap (i.e. Hobling). After the eighties a lot of material was stolen or demolished. By whom. If we only knew.....
3)In all GO's there were monorails. In soetrich it's gone.
Regards,
Hans Vermeulen |
