Below is an aerial shot of the artillery camp. I scanned it from the souvenir book printed by 2RCHA to commemorate their 1964-67 tour in Germany.
This is the Google Map of what I'm guessing is the same location today. Please note the street named Kanadastrasse.

Am I correct in thinking that the Google Map shows the location of where the Fort was? Notice the bunkers at the bottom of the photo and the similar bunkers at the top of the map. That would mean that the 1960's photo was taken from the north of the camp looking south.
In the photo the town seems to be to the south of the camp. Correspondingly in the Google Map the camp seems to have been located to the north of the town of Deilinghofen.
I'm hoping someone with pre-1970 service in Germany can help me.
I'm also hoping to Google Map the locations of the other nine Forts which comprised the Canadian Army garrison in the Soest region.
Thanks,
Dan.
