Atlantic Wall

From The Belgian Coast to Boulogne

and V1 flying bomb and V2 rocket sites in France and Belgium

Above: Two R611 bunkers from Stp Leffinge also called Stp Hannover.
These bunkers are close to the airport of Ostend, Belgium.  That's another favourite place of me.
Here's more about this place: Leffinge: Stp Hannover

Here below you will find links to places I have visited during the past years.
From time to time this page will grow with more interesting 'Atlantic Wall' links
and WWI artifacts.

Appeal to everyone: I am looking for old post war pictures, preferably from 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's of bunkers on the Belgian Coast,
If anyone can provide me with these, please try to give some information about them(location, date etc).
Please inform me if there's a copywrite on it.
