These bunkers were built in 1939 to number 42 in the spring of 1940. Some of these bunkers are camouflaged (paint or brick) or had devices to hang camouflage nets on them (look at the hooks on the roof of the first bunker).
These bunkers were never used during the war because the Germans did not pass through this region during their offensive. The damage that you can see at the level of the first bunker comes from shots made in 45-47 by the infantry school which tested the resistance of the bunkers against anti-tank weapons there.
