All you can easily see today.

I believe this was an ammunition bunker an Fl246..

Fl246 ammunition bunker for a Flak batterie. This bunker is a huge warehouse with long corridors to store ammunition and smaller rooms for 2cm Flak and machine gun ammunition. Also a room for fuses if needed. To me something I can never understand is the fact there are stairs going down into the bunker, so all ammunition that enters the bunker has to be man hauled down steps in and then up steps out. A lot of men and time to load and then unload.

All in countryside at the time. Now its all housing.

Local defence structure.

This is how the whole area looked post war, there was a dire need of housing due to the devastating bombing of the city and port. So these pre fabricated houses were built in the ruins of the town.
