The "Schill" bunker complex Poland - April 2015

Right lets get cracking.

BUNKER TIME..............

This is Werkgruppe "Schill" a bunker complex in the south west of Poland, it is part of the larger MRU bunker complex but not directly linked, there were two concrete and steel block
houses with artillary and machine guns positions in, these were called PzW754 and PzW757, these to massive block houses are linked by tunnels and underground are the crew quarters,
fuel and water storage areas, barracks etc.

Time to get down and dirty....

This is all that remains of PzW754 block house.





This is the view form the bottom of the access shaft from Block house PzW754, the tunnel leads away to the accomoodation and living area.

Hi all

Thanks for the comments guys, night crawler if you think of a Maginot line fort that's what a combat block house looks like, they have a large caliber artillery weopon, with close support MGs and mortar launchers, some also had high pressure flame throwers that went vertical, so that burning fuel would cover the intire bunker.

Remember this is one tiny part of the MRU system, I'll post reports up later about the main system, it's 29Km in total of underground tunnels, it's the daddy of bunker systems.

Cheers newage
