BUNKERS OPEN SUNDAY!
Much more than museums where you don’t just look at history, you experience it!
Whether you’re a history buff, enthusiast or simply seeking a unique outing, discover some of the best preserved & restored WW2 German fortifications in Europe today maintained by the C.I. Occupation Society since the late 1970s by dedicated passionate and knowledgeable volunteers who present sites with a ‘working atmosphere’ feel where you can get ‘hands on’ with weapons and equipment plus many sites also have details of original crew members who returned post war!
