Along
the canal from Bruges to Gent you will still find 5 identical bunkers which
are build in 1941-1942.
The
bunkers were meant as a shelter for German soldiers who were preparing
'Operation Seelöwe', the German invasion into England which never
came.
This
region is known for the battle of 'Moerbrugge' during the liberation days.
