Fire control post of German artillery battery ‘Adour-Nord’ at Bayonne. One of the most impressive German bunkers ever built. Also known as Bunker Barbara.
Wim Hoppenbrouwers shows us some of his work on the Fortificatieforum: 3D bunker photography.

Winter can be cold and miserable but also inspiring.
Made a trip to the Schneifel region in Germany near Prüm. You can still find some remnants of the Westwall in this area. This december there was a big pack of snow which made the trip more special. I’ve visited a special type 23 near Kronenburgerhütte, some early Limes Regelbauten in the forests near Ormont and a part of the endless anti-tank ‘dragon teeth’ near Hollerath, where early old style and 1939 new style Höcker meet eachother.
