Looks like an 'Erika' VHF(30-33MHz) RNAV site.
Station name is 'Erika 2'. Location: Saint-Pierre-Église, France
A Dutch photographs collector bought the 5 pictures of Erika II. I am of course interested for these pictures and have a serie of large and high definition photographs of the bombing of Rotterdam taken by the luftwaffe from the sky. Please contact me on www.erika2.com if interested. Thanks a lot.

Well done, it's Rotterdam. The 5 Erika 2 photographs were sold on Ebay for approximately 5 euros.

I can confirm this information. You can find more details on the radionavigation base on my website : www.erika2.com. I would be pleased to have WW2 photographs of it to improve my knowledge. The 5 pictures sold on Ebay last year are important to understand how it was and how was built the barracks and how the site looks like during the WW2. Nice to see that an information I have got about the position of the sentinel was true!
