If you read in and try to understand what happened there - unimaginable.

One of the stations on the Westwallweg. Very disturbing if you imagine the scenario at the time.
The way, however, is nice to walk.

The smallest bunker was the one-man bunker. One and a half meters deep with an 80 cm wide round opening that could be closed - these were the dimensions of a one-man bunker that was not initially planned along the west wall. Only in 1944, when the Westwall installations had to be reactivated, were one-man bunkers planned and implemented. The structure offered a soldier with a machine gun or bazooka protection from the danger of being run over by a tank. Source: kuladig.de/Objektansicht/KLD-277940
