Some of you may find this interesting , especially if you want a simple prototype to model .

The gun looks like a German Anti-Tank piece. Where is this located?

I think you may find it’s a Russian 76.2mm AT , but I could be wrong . The trouble is , the Germans and Russians captured loads of each other’s stuff and modified them to suit .
The Train Sheds are in Poland , there are four of them .

If you go to Google Earth , “search” for Konewka , Poland .
That should land you smack on one of the bunkers with a load of little blue Photo Tags on it .
Click on tags to look at photos . The photos are quite interesting , especially if you like trains with a difference as used in wartime .
Go 4.87 miles SW and you will find Jelen .
The silly thing is that I found these very easily by finding spurs (or remains of) off the railway that did not go anywhere , I wonder if the Russians found it that easy ? Camouflage over the spurs does not always work .
I have found the other two as well at Stepina and Strzyzow by keying in those words plus Poland in each case .

That is some bunker reinforced with “C” beams and is the white inner wall the actual wall? If it is then looks to be 8-10 feet of solid concrete.
Neat find Mike.
Todd , they are indeed massive , and your guesstimate is not far out .
Every time I see them though , I think of the poor bloody slaves that built them .

Nope. The gun is not Russian. The Russian gun has a flat-topped blast shield. Very Soviet minimalist design. US guns were pretty no-nonsense to. I’m sticking with German.
Very cool. I love the decades of moss growing on it.
