BUNKER-RAMA!
We now have a real concrete bunker at the Rensselaer,
IN battle site. We loosely based it off of many of the smaller defense
bunkers on the
Atlantic Wall, but also seen all over the Eastern front. It's not quite
done yet inside, but here's the major features:
>
25cm thick walls poured
out of one piece (forms), 3.7 x 5.3m inside.
>
Earth-bermed, 1m deep and
into the side of a small mound.
>
2 large visor ports, complete with stepped
shot-traps.
>
Rear entrance with steps down into the bunker, protected by
a small firing port and a grenade sump.
>
Complete ventilation and provision for future features
such as wood stove, generator, and phone lines.
Stahlhelms off to the area members of 2.Panzer for some of the preparetory
work, and most of all, Dr. Neal Haskell (site owner) for accomodationg
such an undertaking! We hope that many of you will be able to come out
and play to see it and many of the other cool things we have going on
up there....
The site owner and associates are brokering WW II armored vehicles at
