Thanks for posting, always good to see concrete!
There are a few mock-ups opf these style of fortifications in the UK, used for practice pre-D-Day.

Always good to know that one would be surrounded by concrete while sitting on the throne.

and one account showing why it'd be beneficial...

I saw an object lying in a slit trench near a machine gun post, which, revolting as it was, aroused my interest so much that i had to point it out to ANSON who was likewise impressed. I donʼt think we shall ever forget this sight. An enormous man, (he must have been 6ft 5 inches or so, judging by the size of his legs), was (according to my story) in the machine- gun post and felt the call of nature. He retired into the communication trench which was not as deep as the gun pit. I imagine that this occurred at the moment that the barrage started. The first shell had decapitated him completely, and his head was nowhere to be seen. All that was left was this enormous torso of a man lying down in a trench, with his trouser and long pants (hence my certainly of nationality as our men had on short pants) pulled right down over his boots. In his left hand were a few pieces of paper.

I mention this is detail, as the sight of this dead headless giant fascinated me. He bore no signs of rank, as he was clad only in a cotton shirt and jersey. He must have died at the onset of the barrage, as he would not have risked so elevated a position when once the barraged had started, judging by the shell-holes all around
