German concrete Air Raid Shelters
("Luftschutzbunker")
During the second world war, the Germans build
a large number concrete Air Raid Shelters (or
Luftschutzbunker" in German) to protect the civil population
for the ever increasing Allied bombardments. Now, more that 50
years of the war, these Air Raid Shelter still define city views.
On this page, some examples of still existing bunkers will be
given.
This page contains a large
number of pictures. It can take some time to download them.
