Remembered Today:

Trenches in the dunes

Recommended Posts

So do we have to guess where it is, Egbert? Looks more like a desert than seaside sand dunes - you can't dig out unshored trenches like that in soft sand.

Okay, here goes my shot in the dark - it's in Alabama and it's a landscape model.

best regards

The Germans can't be on the beach as there are no towels lying out on the loungers.

Actually there is a suspicious looking shadow at the bottom of photo 4, I'm thinking UFOs. :D

This is known so far: the abandoned trench system is called "Vorhersehung" , in English "Destin(y)".

I can assure you it is not in Alabama and it is a German trench system in the dunes. I have more picture proof -but what the heck, you don't trust me :(

He's been gone 5 hours - I hope the roof hasn't fallen in on him!

If you look at the left hand post in #1, there is a small shadow indicating the sun to be almost directly overhead. In Belgium? :huh: Phil B

Im intrigued about this thread...I believe people the once (okay might be gullible but give people the benefit) and after that becoming very untrusting

@ all:

Excellent news: although the dug out from post #1 is definitely unaccessable and too dangerous to enter, I found another one, not even 50 meters away from "Destin" trench system:
