After Paris I got the train to Calais to ride back to Dieppe. I got to Calais to late to cycle as intended, so I found a campsite, then went for a walk down the beach, and found a pretty cool bunker, where the sand beneath it had been blown away. I don’t know who it is that was sat inside it, they invited me over to sit with them, but it was late, and I am not that brave…

    These bunkers along the coast look massive. Biggest in our country are half this size, but there are multiple of them with underground connections.

    Also these look like they had anti ship cannons and ours had only anti tank cannons.

      It is big, it would have been one that defended against the d-day assaults. Where do you find yours?

        Along Czech borders. Most of them are for 3 people and armed only with 2 machine guns, some are bigger mainly in areas where they expected larger assaults.

        They were never used because of Munich agreement and Germans disassembled them and used them to make these bunkers.
