A WALK TROUGH BOTH WORLD WARS
The over 60 bunkers, observation posts and artillery positions and the open or subterranean corridors consitute one of the best preserved parts of the infamous German Atlantikwall. This defence line was built during the Second World War (Battery Saltzwedel-neu). At Atlantikwall Raversyde you can find the only preserved German coastal battery dating from the First World War, the Aachen Battery. This unique bunker complex dating from the First World War is located in a hilly dune area overlooking the sea and was awarded a European Heritage Award in 2022.
The fortifications survive because they were built on land belonging to Prince Charles, Count of Flanders who decided that they should not be destroyed after the war, but be kept as a national monument.

Atlantic Wall open-air museum - Wikipedia
This huge Blockhaus is in Batz-sur-Mer, on the Atlantic coast. It hosts a great, rich museum. Visit recommended.
During world war II, false windows and bricks were painted on the building, and a roof dummy was added, to camouflage the Blockhaus as a villa (photo taken in 1945). A couple of those fake windows are still visible.
