The first picture is of a T-34 tank by the entrance of the museum. Anti-tank defences, Dragon's Teeth, can be seen to the left and right and steel cupolas of the 'Pz.W 717' (Panzerwerks) bunker in the upper right. Second picture is the entrance to 'Pz.W 717' at Pniewo. Pictures 3,4 & 5 are of the interior of the two floored bunker at ground level. In the next pictures I will post we will be heading down the 50 metre shaft to the tunnel system which extends for something like 34 kilometres.

I assume you are asking about the interior paint colour? We are not sure what the original colour was. It is possible they were white as there are still some painted/stencilled signs in black visible here and there but it is difficult to be sure if they were painted with a white background or if the whole interior was white. I will see if I can find out and will let you know.
I assumed all German fortifications interiors were painted white after visiting this place back in 2000. Excellent restored bunkers in Guernsey. http://www.festungguernsey.supanet.com/10_5cm_jager_casemate.htm
thanks for sharing, Roy... can someone translate these words? 1- T-34 pic... http://www.ww2f.com/uploads/monthly_03_2016/post-31671-0-38904800-1458480797_thumb.jpg I can only read first word, "Za"... what does it means? 2- What North? (Northern part of Tunel?) http://www.ww2f.com/uploads/monthly_03_2016/post-31671-0-98448400-1458493497_thumb.jpg also Russian handwriting above the german word. 3- What? http://www.ww2f.com/uploads/monthly_03_2016/post-31671-0-00757300-1458493538_thumb.jpg
T-34 pic writes "Za Pobedu!" which means "for victory". Bahnhof Nord means northern station. That's not a Russian handwriting above it. It's Polish and it's probably a male name Ratibor.
