Naval Coast Battery Zanddijk near Julianadorp en Zee

Description: M.K.B. Zanddijk consisted of two ammunitionbunkers, a M 120 (Leitstand für eine 17 cm Batterie) and two M 219 (Stand für 15 cm SKC/28 in Drehhaube C/34). These two M 219 are the only two built in the Netherlands. The guns of these bunkers came from the battleship Gneisenau. This ship was in the dry dock at Kiel, when it received a direct hit during a bombardment.
Both M 219' s are still present. The southern one is in use as an observation platform now. The top is completely covered. The northern M 219 seems to be intact (minus the gun...)
The M 120 has been demolished after the war. Both ammuntionbunkers (either type 134 (Munitionsunterstand I) or Vf 7a (Munitionsstand (splittersicher, Hoyerbalken))) are completely covered by sand.
