Hi.

The German defence line Atlantik Wall stretched from North Norway to the border of Spain.
Almost 6000 km or 4000 miles.
Today you can see many remains and museums on that very long coastline.
Also in the Netherlands.
In the village Noordwijk is one of these Atlantikwall Museums.
With a 500 meter long tunnel with several very big bunkers attached to this tunnel.
It was used by the German Navy Artillery Unit MAA 201.
Volonteers are many years busy to make it accessible.
Next may we hope to open the north side tunnel.
When you are in the area... highly recommended!
And if you know a 155mm gpf gun for sale...

Thanks for posting this, I am due a visit in the Netherlands- well, I was before corona kicked back inn - and will plan in a visit to this museum.

Very interesting to see these old fortifications being maintained and opened to the public.
