Bunker BV 3 Spixhe

This bunker, BV 3, from the sector Becco-Vesdre is located in a forest plot between Spixhe and Jevoumont.

The sector BV is part of the 1st line of defense for the city of Liège, La Position Fortifiée de Liège, PFL 1.

The bunker is located on a private plot of land. With the permission of the owner of the plot, I was allowed to enter it and take pictures. The bunker is so overgrown with thorny bushes that it was not possible to take pictures close by or on the inside.

The walls and ceiling of the bunkers from the PFL line were 1.3 meters thick reinforced concrete. They could withstand shelling with 150mm shells. These bunkers were built in the early 1930's.These bunkers were built in the early 1930s.

However, the fence, concrete posts with barbed wire and an entrance gate, are still present. The gate itself was removed after the war and sold as scrap metal.

At bunker SB F at Becco the gate does remain.
