Default torpedo firing bunkers






quote Jos:"Both fotos are taken in Flushing (Vlissingen) in Holland
there were 2 torpedotubes to protect the Westerschelde
Later in the war the batteries were changes to fire Spinne-
torpedos ( the topedos were guided by wire , at the end of
the torpedo there was a light so the operator could guide the
torpedo to the target)

On the Atlantik Wal they had a few bunkers that would fire torpedoes : equipped with a torpedo turret similar to that seen on most battleships, I've wanted to have a few of those.. imagine getting fired at by one !
