57P8, Gewehrschartenverschluss

Thickness 30 mm
Weight 60 kg
Dimensions 540 x 640 mm
Closing mechanism Steel door

Just like the 48P8 this light version of the Gewehrschartenverschluß has been used for Eingangs- and Nahverteidigung, in tunnelsystems (Hohlgänge) and small MG positions. It can still be found in all German bunkers all over Europe.

By closing the flap and tightening a knob it would be gas proof.
