Regelbauten der Kriegsmarine, 1944
Below is a copy of the document ”Regelbauten der Kriegsmarine, Ausgabe Dezember 1944”.
The manual contains a collection of the construction types, which were available to the engineers of the German Navy for use in the coastal defence at the end of 1944. The manual only contains the bunker types, which were to be used immediately for the specific tasks of the navy in the coastal defence. When it came to choosing bunkers for crews, anti-tank guns, water supply etc., the engineers were to use the corresponding Army manual of bunker types.
Some of the bunker types had been in use for several years, whereas others were newly developed and never were actually constructed.
