Bunker: Defense Against Enemies? | Secret Bunkers

To this day, bunkers have not lost their relevance. There are still hundreds of thousands of these protective structures in Europe, most of them made from reinforced concrete.
"Secret Bunkers" presents four installations from the mid-19th century up until the middle of World War II. Such as the legendary fortress and bunker of emperor Francis I of Austria in today’s Northern Italy which was never put to the test. In the 1930s, the so-called East Wall was intended to shield Germany’s border against a suspected invasion from its Polish neighbor. However, when the Soviet Army advanced to Berlin in early 1945, its bunkers proved worthless. From 1940 onwards, Britain’s Prime Minister Winston Churchill coordinated the war from a bomb-proof bunkers right in the heart of London. Along the French Atlantic Coast, colossal blocks of steel concrete were erected to provide bunkers for the German U-Boats until, finally, they had to give themselves up.

Thanks H & C👌🖤

The way that the last bunkers were re-purposed after the war was interesting, but logical and an obvious why not? to me. It had the practical elements at least to re-establish this town with the port status and not just be a meuseum like the rest were, after being abandoned.

Or the Boers in South Africa, which were put in concentration camps by the British and died en masse, a vile war crime of massive proportions.
