Today was open monument day in the netherlands. I visited a post ww2 dutch defensive line along the river ijssel near the village of olst, the so called "ijssellinie". Build after the war the line was in service untill 1968 then it was partly dismanteld or mothballed. In 1999 a foundation started restoration of some bunkers, from the 68 bunkers only 32 are still there 3 of which have a ram turret with a .30 cal mg as only armament located where the 6 pounder used to be.
