A simple Google Search sometimes helps.

Thanks for the link and it has a lot of wonderful pics on it. Problem is,not many,if any at all,show the Oderfront? If they do,you pretty much have to know exactly what you are looking at to realize if they are from that area.
There are cool shots of the Red Army gun line,etc but also shots of Berlin and even the western front.
As far as fortifications go,any standard German Army field fortifications would work as they were pretty standard throughout the war.

Not too many images particular to Seelow Heights. Pics that could be anywhere - pics in Berlin - and pics including GI's that I'm sure have nothing whatsover to do with Seelow Heights. As I understand it, the defenses were made hastily in only a couple of months (or less) and were mostly earth-works and trench systems. If you browse through this site: http://pillboxes-suffolk.webeden.co.uk/# you will find reproduction diagrams taken from German WWll fieldworks manual. There's also this site: http://www.allworldwars.com/German-Doctrine-of-the-Stabilized-Front.html A lot of reading, but has drawings and plans of earthworks as well as a lot of theory of defense.
