    We have a few bunkers that already fell down from the cliff.
    Some are now dangerously close.

    Wow......All I can say is, if I ever want a machine gun bunker built, hire a German....Those things have help up well in 70 years.

    Great pictures Frenchman, that's quite a drop from the top of that cliff.

    They added signs to warn tourists not to lay their beach towel too close to the cliff.

    You don't want thousands of tons of concrete and steel hitting you in the face as you tan.

    This was is stuck on the beach at a weird angle, it's quite a sight.

    And it can still survive a 220 feet drop after that long.
    Most of them have been bombed pretty good too, they barely have scratches.

    It's hard to understand how it fell from the cliff with that angle and so far away from the cliff.
    When you're next to it you think it was dropped from the sky.

    You can this a lady next to it for scale.That thing is massive and it stays in one single block.

    I never get tired of those pics Sylvain....

    I've been inside of the small block next to the huge bunker (on the left), it's hollow and open on one side.
    I never been inside the huge one since the openings are too high and you would have to climb the walls to get to the rooms inside.

    I have the floor plans.
