Technically these items are underground, but more cut and covered, rather than full tunnels. There were some other tunnels that were either bombed out or destroyed by other means and they were by Turm 4.
There are some semi sunk buildings behind Turm 1 and I will include them
when I cover T1.

Bunker (ammunition)
The first underground bunker is in the north of the site. A on the plan, an ammunition bunker built through the hedge. With steps down to a three roomed bunker and an emergency exit of steeper stairs out of the back.
We could not enter this bunker.

Flakstellung.
To the left of the bunker is a ramp, inside is a tunnel taking you down to trench level. Probably and escape or an air raid shelter.

Bunker (ammunition).
The stairs down and maybe the flat piece to the left is to lower or draw out ammunition boxes. If these are for ammunition, I would think they are for Flak or small arms type.

This shows how the technology of electronic cameras has advanced. It says 2002 but I feel this is a 2000 photo in an early electronic camera.

Sorry focus problem on this visit. If you look carefully, you can see through the three rooms. No doors seemed to have been provided.

The Hospital.
Steps down to the hospital or sick bay. There may have been a rudimentary operating room and a small ward. Probably based on a ships layout. As this was a naval batterie.
