Ammunition Bunker Type FL246

This German FL246 bunker was used as an ammunition depot. During the landing at Westkapelle on November 1, 1944, this bunker and its surroundings came under heavy fire, preventing the supply of ammunition to the gun bunkers. This had a decisive impact on the landing at Westkapelle.

The bunker itself sustained several hits and is visibly damaged with many bullet holes. A large part of it is covered by vegetation and dune sand.
