    The Dutch group shelters, part of the New Dutch Waterline, were intended as shelter during shelling and bombing, if the trenches between the shelters did not provide enough cover. The principle was based on the battle method in the First World War.

    The group shelters were built in 1939 and 1940. A number of them were not completed at the outbreak of the Second World War. These were also not finished later.

    These personal bunkers were called 'Pyramiden' by the Germans because of the shape of the bunker.
