    The bunkers at the Antitankgracht consist of lock bunkers with the associated subsidiary bunkers. The lock bunkers are elongated freestanding bunkers with a large blank wall, camouflaged by eggs, and served to keep the water level in the anti-tank ditch at the correct height.

    These types of Belgian lock bunkers had to guard the locks that kept the water level in the 'Antwerp anti-tank ditch' up to standard. Eggs promote the growth of moss on the bunker and provide natural camouflage.
