ahhh wayne let me give you some background information:
The ram turret is backed up by a bofors emplacement directly behind it, to the rear is a firefly turret bunker and to the right is an emplacement with a maxson turret (4 .50 cal mg). this triangular setup was found all along the river. Furthermore think of this, all emplacements were raised approx. 1 meter above the rest of the fields so in time of war the fields would be flooded to about 50-60 centimeters creating defensive islands. The idea beeing that 50-60 centimeters of water stops russian trucks but also prevents the usage of boats. So in the end you are stuck with 4 men on a small island living underground and manning the ram turret and a bofors cannon with supplies for 4-5 days.
Wim (who also thinks that it's not the best place to be when an attack comes)
