...than seeing WW2 history being denounced like this, it is pure sickning.

Eh, on one hand its a part of ww2II history, on the other hand it was used to protect men trying to kill other men invading that beach.



I find the donky suiting, the graffity..not.

There's a good chance that men died in that bunker.  That makes it hallowed in my opinion, regardless of which side occupied it.

Ditto.

Nobody has any respect for "hallowed" ground any more.

I'm surprised Wal-Mart hasn't tried to build a Supercenter on top of it.

Firstly its a good chanse and prolly 100% chanse that NOONE died in that bunker as it was in Denmark, and as far as I know that beach was never invaded by allies or axis.

Secondly we cant and dont hold all military structures in so high regard over here in Europe. If we did we could not build much at all as the germans buildt them basicly everywere along the coasts. A very few are kept for tourists, but most are destroyed.

Nothing wrong with that.

I can't agree with seeing a Nazi artefact as "hallowed" ,I disagree also with the following sentence :

There's a good chance that men died in that bunker.

I don't remember of beach landing in Denmark

its not a monument, its one of hundreds of thousands of ugly concrete ww2 artifacts that are still strewn all over Europe. believe me we dont have to look very far to be reminded of the devastation of ww2. came out of my hotel in Bristol the other day, walked 50yds to be confronted by the remains of a bombed out church, scorching from the incendiaries still evident all over the 800yr old stone structure. next to it about a square mile of new buildings where the several hundred original timber-framed C15th-C17th buildings were flattened and torched.


do you think the Flak towers in Berlin should have been left as "monuments" to the 3rd Reich, rather than reclaimed by the survivors and converted into apartments?

Understand your opinion and respect it, even though that's a Danish coastal defense and was not used in any defense of an invasion.

But, when pointed in that direction, you must realize that someone has died in just about every standing structure this species has ever made.  Remembrance is fine, but moving forward is human.  That bunker should have been destroyed long ago, IMO.

I can't remember the exact reason for it. Some artsy happening, but it wasn't just the one. [edit: trying a different site that will let me link] http://www.flickr.com/photos/cw61/2845749613/

We still have plenty much more impressive bunkers remaining, if that interest you. This is basically just a shelter to be used during a anticipated shore bombardment. You can't even point a MG out of it.
If you wonder why it's sitting in the middle of the beach, it's just the coastline that have moved in those 60 years. It used to be located in the grassy dunes right before the beach.
