Default Secret German Bunker Found, frozen in time.

A mate of mine over in England typed this out of todays paper over there. It's not on the web yet but Im interesting in viewing any links when they are available.

-------------------------------

A Brit Treasure Hunter, Gary Sterne, has found a German Bunker used to bombard the Allied troops at the Normandy beach landings, still as it was the day the Germans evacuated it. The bunker had recieved minimal damage from bombings and is in excellent condition..

He found the location of the bunker on a German map that he brought from a French boot sale for 30p..

After looking at the map he went to Grandcamp-Maisy and started searching for the bunker, once he had found it and entered the bunker he saw that it was exactly like time had stood still. There were German secret paperwork and radio's etc still intact and in good condition all over the Bunker which covers an area of 20 acres inside. The bunker was also used as a field hospital for German troops..

He and 27 other people have clubbed together to buy the land the bunker is on ( Grandcamp-Maisy, France ) to protect it and they will be turning the bunker into a museum for the public to view..

Default Update

The Sun:

The Sun has explored a long-lost nazi bunker- and found it was littered with the ghosts of war.

Helmets, guns, ammo and even boots abandoned by the Germans in 1944 were strewn around.

I was shown the battle-scarred 20-acre "time capsule" of damp concrete rooms and tunnels the day after we revealed it had been unearthed by Brit historian, Gary Sterne.

The bunker was attacked by advancing US troops- and thousands of bullet-holes mark the crumbling walls, housing a field hospital, cookhouses, stores and accommodation blocks complete with bedframes.

Up to 500 troops lived here- two metres underground near the D-Day landing sites at Grandcamp-Maisy, in Normandy, Northern France.

Garry, 41, from Manchester, said: "Historians believe this was the real Nazi headquaters during the Allied invasion."

He will open it as a museum this MARCH. For me, the dark, eerie place felt like a place never meant to be found. - Taken from The Sun
