I went to France with Eelco to explore an abandoned WWII bunker of the Maginot line, the 2nd largest fortification of the world. After being abandoned, many guns were removed or relocated to a museum, but in this bunker you can still find some big guns!

I grew up in Germany during the 50’s and 60’s. Locally we had a bunker that was destroyed by filling it with water then putting an explosive inside. There was no giant gun but there were remnants of a radio, lots of bullets and a crushed narrow gauge rail car where two soldiers would sit facing one another. I heard that there was an underground hospital nearby but we never found any evidence of it. I used to take the bullets home and remove the slug and pour out the gunpowder and set it on fire. At school we used to have ammunition awareness week where they used to bring in defused bombs and ammunition to discourage us from touching them if we found anything.

I dont think the whole corridor was on fire, the smoke is only high up on the walls and roof, they made piles of copper and burned it in the tunnels to get the plastic of, and the smoke has no way to go fast, thats why the roof and some of the walls is black all the way.

Thank you (from France)!! Some bunkers of the Maginot line can be visited with comments in English. One includes a functional railway to hell and more. ;) It helps to preserve and restore the other bunkers. Maginot line was indeed effective simply because Germans never passed it. With less than 200000soldiers in it, it's been a great advantage for France, which population was lower than Germany's... However, we were defeated - but not because of the Maginot line.
