Thanks, that was a nice read.
These bunkers likely would have been a planning problem for the Italian Army for their invasion of Austria; I'll wager that some of the invasion force came through that pass.
Since by canon, the invasion was successful, one way or the other the bunker positions were passed, either destroyed or surrendered. That does not mean passage was cheap. Nor does that mean that the guns themselves could not have been salvaged, by either Italian forces or by Austrian guerillas after the fact - if the front had moved on, they may have been only lightly guarded...
