Bunker discovered in Belgium
A Luftwaffe Flak bunker L 409 was discovered this monday in Stp Hundius, Oostende, Belgium.
A few years ago, I [pierrot] was proud to announce on the forum that I found a surviving L409a in Belgium (Stp Blücher III, in De Haan); now I also have found its little brother: a L409.
Yesterday we excavated a bunker in the huge Stp Hundius in Ostend (KVA3, Belgium). The Stp Hundius is well known for its well preserved Marine Kustbatterie but the Strongpoint stretched further away that only the ground of the MKB (in fact, from the Military hospital till the Halve Maan and including also the 633 at the lock)
More info via the Axis History Forum.

Is the site of MKB Hundius accessible for the public now?

To my latest knowledge a big part has been covered with sand, pending a decision for the future of this site. But it looks it will be a positive future.
