The Mammut radar was mounted on top of a large bunker, either a L 485 as in Denmark, or a V 143 in some other countries. |

| The "L 485" at Hjertebjerg. It differs markedly from the other known L 485s, and varying thickness is used for the walls. It is my theory that this is "The Mother of all L 485s" - the "pre-production" model. It is not listed in the Bfm, which to me indicates that it was not built by the Fest.Pi.Stab, but by the Luftwaffe Ausbau Stab. | ||||

||||
| The L 485 at Blåvand. A more regular shape, but again different from the "Typeheft". | ||||
|
|
||||
| The L 485 at Rømø. Again a variation over a theme, the opening in the west wall is in-explicable. This bunker housed the display equipment for both the Mammut and the See-Elefant. | ||||
|
|
||||
| The Mammut antenna at Hjertebjerg, Hanstholm. Note how the antenna cables are assembled and routed down a cable "chimney". | ||||

| One of the cable "chimneys" at Blåvand. | The cables were routed through this armor plate, placed on top of the "chimney", now lingering in the sand next to the bunker. | |||

| The cable "chimneys" at Blåvand from inside. (Blåvand). | The cables were then routed through the walls into the ops. room . . . (Blåvand). | |||

| .. . . where the display equipment was mounted on a low platform. (Rømø). | The platform for the display equipment. (Rømø). | |||

| The original camouflage colors are re-emerging in 2007. | ||||
