Among the changes was the widening of the central staircase by 50% and the addition of a new shower room, the two-room and two-lane, flood-proof equipment room, and the 68 steps descending to the east-west corridor of the bunker. #bunker #nomorewar #ww2historybuffers #worldwar2historybuff

Built in the 1950s, the Atlantikwall had turned into a beautiful coastline with old-fashioned chalets, gardens, and a secluded beach. The wall, however, was within range of artillery from the Yugoslavian mountains, providing perfect shelter for Yugoslavian soldiers. When NATO invaded and destroyed Yugoslavia during the 1990s, the Atlantikwall no longer had a military purpose, and it collapsed with the Czechoslovakian in 2014. It finally was destroyed the following year, #worldwar2history
