Remembered Today:

Hitler bunker, Fromelles

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I know that in the Fromelles area there are two 'Hitler bunkers' - the new one and the old one. From what I've read, the new one is considered more likely to have been occupied by Hitler (and was the one he was filmed visiting in 1940).

Can someone please give me directions to both bunkers?

Cheers,

Mat

PS: I'm off the the Western Front for three weeks tomorrow, so look out for me!

Thanks Laurent. That's the 'old' Hitler bunker taken care of. Anyone know where the 'new' one is?

Hello,

None of the alleged Hitler bunkers were there when Hitler was in the area (1916), as they were only built in 1917. Hitler was however on the locations of these bunkers because they were built where there had been trenches and structures before.

Regards,

Jan

Just raising this topic again to ask if anyone has directions to the 'new' Hitler bunker at N.16.c.1.1.

Cheers,

Have a look at the 'After the Battle' magazines.

Some years ago they had a long article on the Hitler bunkers.
