Josephsburg Strongpoint
Josephsburg Strongpoint
Stp. Josephsburg is located inside Fort Grosnez at the Harbour Breakwater. It also features a 2cm Flak Battery. It comprised of multiple 10.5cm Casemates, 6x 2cm Flak and worked in coordination with Wn. Hafen and Wn. Dohlenfeste. The breakwater also featured small defensive positions. The fortification is not normally accessible, as it is used as a states yard to maintain the vital breakwater. The most interesting construction on site is a one of a kind bunker at the tip of the fort. It features Cyrille graffiti by the slave labourers, and German patriotic poems. It comprised of a Steel MG Cupola, 10.5cm Casemate, 3MG positions and the supporting structures. The entire construction survives exept the Cupola, and it has been heavily looted. Due to the openings for guns on the ocean-facing side it has been filled with sludge and water, with the lower floor completely inaccessible due to flooding.

Some nice remains
The bunker has unfortunately been converted to a dwelling for this resident here. We are losing too many bunkers like this.
