Hello Everybody on my list,
A friend of mine lives in lorient/brittany. In the
center of the town lies an old German bunker which
will be destroyed next week. The workers are already
working on it. My friend passed by this afternoon
(sunday14th) and just popped in! What a surprise! See
the photos!
best regards Gilles

God bless those heroes who suffered and died, for plain folks, like you and me.
War is a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.
Why is it being destroyed??
Brooke
Yes I want to know that too.
Frank
We are paratroopers. We are supposed to be surrounded.

NOw that is cool. I was interested in this thread as I have walked down into some of the bunkers on Ponte du Hoc on Normandy. And most of them survived that shelling.

Enginears...Engeneres....Engineres----- I are one and I can't spell it.
Yeah that's true Custerman and have you seen how big and deep the bomb holes are at pointe du hoc, I thought the same thing when I've been there the first time how could one survive this and how was it possible that that the bunkers weren't destroyed all.
Thanks Lennon for the great link from Maisy. :drinkin:I wish I could go there this year!
In 2001 we talked to the owner of one of the museum at Omaha Beach and he told us there are a lot of bunkers and other remains from that time to be be uncovered and that the French governement interfere and hindered to dig out those relicts for years.
(In the 50 a lot of bunkers and other things were dig in the sands of Normandy beach)
The man also told us *in 2001* now theGovernement is awakening cos there's a lot of money in play. 
Tourisme after Pr. Ryan.
He said the Panzergraben from Omaha Beach was filled with all kind of guns and stuff before it was filled with sand from the Beach, maybe one day they will remove this artefacts in good condition.
