All the rooms and corridors are full of artefacts left over from the occupation and the bunker still stands dominant over the beach today, showing visitors what it was like during the war. The museum recently celebrated its 20th anniversary and to mark that milestone it added many previously unseen items to the displays giving even better value for money.
This museum is a lifetimes work, the collection has been assembled over many years allowing the visitors the opportunity to see items, many of which are still in the same condition as when they were when last used over 60 years ago. Being displayed in one of Hitler's former Atlantic Wall defences helps visitors to get a true feeling for those dark days of the 1940s. A major collection of historical memorabilia not to be missed.
