Nice work, as usual. I have fond memories of the bunker night club. Not because I used it, but because when I first took up metal detecting, this was the first place I had a mooch around. This would have been around 12 years ago. Over the years I revisited and was always miffed at not being able to gain access to explore inside. The heavy front doors had huge granite boulders preventing opening. Then, about eighteen months ago upon re- visiting, VOILA! Someone had finally gained access from the rear. It is huge inside and it is still recognisable as the night club it once was. In fact a testament to the security of the place over all these years, it looked as if it had closed only in the last few years, rather than the 30-40 years. I don’t know if you are aware. But directly opposite this bunker over the road in a private garden is a Tobruk which covers the road. It lies less than a metre from the fence and is clearly visible without trespassing. Keep up the good work. Regards, Francis.
You now can't drive in. YOu have to park across the road. There's a handicapped parking place by the gate. A platfor has been installed to over look the marshes.

Excellent video Colin. Thank you.
Very informative, keep up the good work!
Colin. Just recently subscribed and really enjoying the content. Do you live in France? Your pronunciation of the names, place names etc is very good.
Been here 40 years now.
Really interesting 👍🏼
I would think Calais would have had even more hard defenses but I’ve never seen anyone do a video on it.
A good website for info on this is www.atlantikwall.co.uk/atlantikwall/fpc_stp_oldenburg.php
