WWII bunkers and other emplacements - Who owns them?

If these are on private land, who owns these? Still the state?

Take into consideration known structures and structures that are later discovered. Are they property of the state? Can you purchase these? I have only seen a handful of articles about bunkers for sale and they were from many years ago.omegle discord xender

As I plan to retire in Europe, I think it would be the neatest to own a bunker or other emplacement.

 

These places usually belong to the landowners (in the UK at least). Various sites quite often come up for sale here, and get converted into housing of some kind. Recent examples in Scotland include an airfield Watch Tower, a former radar station and another former radio station.

 

Would the person inside such a bunker survive the shockwave caused by impacts?

 

I suppose it would depend on how well they were built and the calibre of the shell. Concussion from repeated impacts would probably do for them though.
Quite a few pillboxes were bombarded by the Army immediately postwar, both for practice and to establish how efficient the constructions were. Don't think I've ever seen published versions of any reports though.

 

I recall reading the US soldiers liked to use Panferfausts against the bunkers. Also the flamethrower would suck the air out of the bunkers.

 

It is my understanding that Germany has made a concerted effort over the years to dismantle or destroy vestiges of the war.

 

I would think it would take a fair amount of money to make any bunker comfortable for year round living.

 

I often entertain the fantasy of turning a type 28a into a des-res. Don't think it would be very practical though.
