Finding a Way In
After the photographer located the bunker, he had to figure out how to get in. The windows and doors were covered with old and rusty shutters and the entrance was complicated as well. Most of the entrances were designed to keep intruders out, which made it challenging for Askat to find a way in. Finally, the explorer found an opening and was able to get inside.
Keep in mind that Hitler’s army had constructed other hidden bunkers in France. Many ruins of Nazi bunkers still exist in northern France, including a bunker known as Batterie Todt which is located near Normandy. The Nazis occupied France for several years during World War II, and Paris was liberated in 1944.
Exploring the Eerie Bunker
After he entered the bunker Askat began to explore the many tunnels and rooms that ran beneath the surface for six miles! The underground bunker is nearly 100 feet below the ground at its deepest point. There are tons of long hallways which have many rooms on both sides The windows were mostly covered with a lot of moss and debris like the photos we’re seeing.
Inside the bunker, he also discovered moss-covered military phrases on the chipped walls, crumbling ceilings, and of course, those dark hallways. It was doubtless chilling for the photographer to explore the tunnels, especially knowing that the the army led by one of history’s dire villains occupied them.
The underground stronghold of the bunker was thought to be planned as Hitler’s final headquarters and from the looks of it, it resembled a labyrinth. Hitler’s goal was to invade Britain, but his plans did not go as he had hoped. The bunker Askat photographed may have been the location where Hitler arranged his destructive plans.
