According to an article in the Offenbach Post of June 12, 2023, the one-man bunker was not, as originally written here, an air raid shelter for guards who supervised the drainage work in the Nieder-Roden forest that the inmates of the Rollwald concentration camp had to carry out.
According to this report, according to a contemporary witness, there was an anti-aircraft gun position at the Zellhausen airfield in the last months of World War II. Shooting exercises were carried out there, during which an airbag had to be hit behind a Fieseler Storch that had started in Zellhausen. During the target practice, a soldier was responsible for ensuring that nobody went into the forest during the practice. He also observed the exercises with binoculars. The one-man bunker was supposed to protect him from flying splinters.
Nevertheless, more of a memorial than a highlight.

This is a bunker that you do not see every day. He is right on the way

Highlight? I don't know. When I was here, I always wondered what was going on here. Who was in this bunker and why was he there? How were the people who were probably guarded here? And why?
