This pillbox may also be represented by the record Mke42100.
Ten probable bomb craters were seen in the vicinity of the pillbox on aerial photography taken in 1945 [1]. These features were not visible on aerial photography taken in 1942 [2]. Next Perspectives photography taken in 2007 [3] showed the area to be wooded, thus it is possible that the features were present under the canopy.
A transcription of the feature recorded from aerial photographs exists within a GIS layer held by this HER.
