Hi All
Day 2 and bunker 2
This is the Simserhof bunker complex, this was a 3 1/2 hour visit and we only saw 2 blocks, the personnel entry and the munitions entry, just so you know
there are another 8 surface combat blocks all linked from the underground tunnels, the place if metric f*****g huge.
This bunker is older than the others we had seen so far as it it was built between 1929 and 1938 and built in stages as more money became available.
Again its deep around 100ft, fitted out with lifts, magazines, kitchens, fighting turrets in the combat blocks, mess rooms, power plan etc, the magazines are
so large they have a DC system electric rail system linking all the magazines.
Pictures time.....................
The top personnel entry block house was the way in for us.
The munitions entry and this was our exit over 3 hours later.
This is one of 3 air ventilation plant rooms, we got it up and running and bloody hell was it ever loud, the red bin things are the filters
In to the power plant with its diesel engines.
Then off to the magazines and the internal railway system (they all work BTW)
looking along one of the magazine passageways.
The magazine fire suppression system
Right that will do for now, thanks for looking and as usual all comments are most welcome.
There are a shed load more pictures on my FlickR site so head on over to -
Simserhof Mignot line bunker

you do get in some interesting places, so was this a guided tour because the lights were on and no doubt some one must have noticed the filtration system running if it is that noisy. Amazing condition considering how old it is
