These are the two Vickers gun pillboxes my grandfather would have been defending with his Home Guard Platoon had Hitler invaded Suffolk.
The bridge was undermined when the Allies approached the rivers in The Netherlands in September 1944. At "Dolle Dinsdag" (Crazy Tuesday, 5 September 1944) the Germans totally paniced. One of them accidentely "pushed the button" so to say and all hell broke loose. Many houses in the neighbourhood were damaged.Intrigued by this in Marcel's post
"Another view of the battle area, close to the Moerdijk bridge. You can just see another bridge in the distance. This is the new railway bridge over the river Maas. The old one was accidentally blown up by the Germans in September 1944."
Curious very curious
That differs between the bunkers. Many of these little bunkers here are on private land and thus owned by their respective owners. If this is not the case, they are owned by the city. Almost all of the bunkers are sealed, so you cannot enter. This is so that they will not be abused by homeless people or drugs users. Some owners turned them into a shed for themselves. I believe the big bunker on the photo's has been rented to a motor club by the city.What's the legal status of these bunkers? Are they being preserved? Is it illegal to enter them?
I kow the sentiment. In the past I sticked my camera inside with flash. I still might have one or two of those. But that'll have to wait until next week.Thanks, Marcel. That explains a lot. I guess I'm just kind of wondering what some of these look like inside.
