German Bunker FL244 Atlantikwall - Fort Dirks Admiraal
Fort Dirks Admiraal was originally built by the French between 1811 and 1813. The Dutch modernised it from 1880 to 1890. During the German occupation (1940-1945), it was transformed into an anti aircraft battery, armed with four 10,5 cm S.K. C/32 gun pieces. The RAF launched several attacks on the fort.
At Fort Dirks Admiral built the Germans this FL244 bunker.
