Bunker FB 3 Seraing

Bunker FB 3 is the last remainging bunker of the sector of Flémalles-Boncelles.

The sector would hold a line of 5 km and is part of the 2nd line of defense for the city of Liège (la Position Fortifiée de Liège, PFL 2).

Bunkers FB 1, FB2 and FB 2 bis are demolished after the war.

The bunker is located at Marchandise Wood at Seraing. Although the bunkers is near the road, it is not visible due to the trees. Even not in Winter. The bunker would had a perfect view on the surrounding area of Seraing.

The bunker has two gunopenings. One for a 47 mm anti-tank canon, and one for a machinegun. Also this bunker would have a turret. This was roufly cut out of the bunker after the war. Photo 4.
