The "Destroyed bunkers" thread

[Erik E]

After a tip from one of our members, this sticky was created in order to post photos of bunkers which are now gone.... Guess this will be a sad but important thread!

So.... Try to include atleast location (City + country), type, when it was destroyed.
And if possible why it was destroyed.

Given it visable size, it seems that destroying history so that you may have 3 extra car-parking spaces, is rather extreme.

What happened to the turret?
