I was supposed to go back there the following year, but apparently during the winter the heating failed, water froze in the pipes and burst causing flooding and damage. The building was falling into disrepair since then. It is very unfortunate, that in spite of many years, no organisation was able to restore it.

I love your work! I recently learned of the “German Dunkirk” and the sinking of three large ships. Staggering loss of life. It is very intriguing.

Yessss! Your videos give me such joy. Thank you, Mark!

There is also a bunker like that in the Netherlands, near Arnheim. It was used to coordinate air defense. I have been in it. It was not attacked during the fighting near Arnheim, confusing the Germans. Nowadays it houses some of the national archives of the Netherlands, so it is not open to the public. It has a very elaborate ventilation system built in to keep a good atmosphere for the papers in there.
