    Built in 1939 out of fear of an enemy invasion from Germany - the fear turned out to be justified. hetsmalstestukjenederland.nl/locations/kazemat-ijsstraat-61361171de46156c5351c3d1

    The casemate in Susteren (municipality of Echt-Susteren) is a casemate from the Second World War. A small park has been built around the casemate and there are three flagpoles. A wooden information plaque has been placed on the casemate with the following text: 'This casemate was used on May 10, 1940 for the defense of the Eastern border. She was manned by the 6th reserve border company South Limburg, part of the 2nd battalion of the 37th infantry regiment. This porcupine-type casemate was defended with light machine guns.'
