    This command post was part of a comprehensive defense system in a strategically important location. The Hillman bunker was despite strong resistance on D-Day, the landing of the Allies in Normandy, be taken.

    really pleasantly surprised by this place where I hesitated to go. expecting an empty bunker, there are in fact several, and all (including 1 specifically) reconditioned as at the time of the landing. and if you're lucky, there will even be a guide from the association present to visit the interior
