WW2 Bunkers

June 6, 2011

World War II military bunkers are still present in Europe. These imposing concrete structures have stood the test of time, some reused but most of them abandoned a long time ago. Photographer Jonathan Andrew documents in his “WW2 Bunkers” series the current condition of these structures in The Netherlands, France, and Belgium. These images are a reminder of the conflicted past in Europe.
