    "A WW2 bunker has been discovered during forestry clearance works for the S-17 Piaski-Hrebenne expressway in Eastern Poland.
    A previous LIDAR survey of the area had revealed traces of WW2-era fortifications, such as trenches and dugouts, but the study gave no indication of a hidden bunker lying beneath the dense forest and undergrowth near the village of Belzec in Tomaszow Lubelski County.
    According to experts, the bunker if part of the Molotov Line in the Rawa Ruska fortified region, a system of border fortifications constructed between 1940-41 that stretched from the Baltic Sea to the Carpathians.
    By the time Germany launched Operation Barbarossa in 1941 and invaded the Soviet Union, much of the Molotov Line remained incomplete and offered little resistance to the advancing Axis forces".
