Description
Heavily camouflaged German air defences believed to be at the airfield at St Malo in France during the Battle of Britain in 1940. The photo came from a German camera acquired by Corporal John Sheppard, MM, whilst he was serving in the Middle East with the 2/15th Battalion. In the foreground is a 2cm Flakvierling 38 (FLaK 38) light anti-aircraft gun, and to the right, a concealed bunker.
