Bunker MM 1 Battice

This is bunker MM 1 of sector Manaihant-Les Margarins of the 1st line of defense of the city of Liège, la Position Fortifiée de Liège 1 (PFL 1).

This sector ran north to sector Les Margarins-Neufchâteau (MN). To the south, the sector bordered sector Vesdre-Manaihant (VM).

Sector MM consisted of 20 bunkers east of Fort Battice. This bunker still exists, but is incorporated into its garage. This means that the garage has been built around the bunker, and the bunker is now part of the house so it is no longer visible.

Only by the specific somewhat angled shape one can still recognize that this bunker is part of the house. (The bunker is in the left part of the house.)

Of the other 20 bunkers, 16 remain. Bunker MM 11 was never built and bunkers MM 6,7,8 and 19 were demolished after the war.
