The Panther-Stellung was the last German fortified defence line of the Netherlands in the Second World War. Leo van Midden wrote an extensive book about this interesting topic which covers the area between roughly Spakenburg at the IJsselmeer until the Rhine at Arnhem.

Shocking news from the Netherlands where the partial owner of the huge Schnellbootbunker in IJmuiden has plans to demolish its part of the bunker. If they continue their plans the bunker will be unreversibly demolished. The bunker in the harbour area of the Dutch coastal town always had private owners and the bunker was never […]

Over the years, numerous photographers were fascinated by the bunkers of the Atlantikwall. The big inspiration, I think, for all these photographers was the French cultural theorist, urbanist, and aesthetic philosopher Paul Virilio. His 1975 book Bunker Archéologie is a classic, and also the first to examine the concrete World War 2 structures in detail. […]

In Saint-Nazaire the bunker of the Marine Flak Abteilung 820 still resists the demolition hammer. It will be destroyed in the end, but it’s stronger than expected. It is huge too. 1500 m2, with walls 2 meters thick. The demolition started in june 2016 and should finish before 1 September, when then school next to […]

One of the casemates type 667 at Widerstandsnest 227 was converted to a Star Wars vehicle. A nice form of graffiti spraying. They made a nice video of the creating process.
