IJmuiden, IJmuiderslag.
WBN, KVA Amsterdam, Festung IJmuiden, M.Fl.B. Olmen, Wn. 82.

This Marine Flakbatterie can be found south of battery Heerenduin, you can walk from Heerenduin towards Olmen or you drive with the car trough the inland and then park the car at IJmuiderslag.
Most of the bunkers can be entered, except both ammunition bunkers FL246, the emplacements, FL243 and FL249 (mirror image of the FL243) for a 10,5cm gun in a turret are all open and the inside looks still nice with some nice numbers. The Flak fire-control post (Flakleitstand), is also open but completely burned out, the range-finder ( E-Messer) stood underneath a steel turret who protected it against shrapnel and weather influences. Around the battery a lot of Tobruks are build, most of them have a concrete roof. This is just like battery Heerenduin a very nice example of a how a complete battery would have looked liked.
