The legacy of the Atlantic Wall: WWII-era bunkers in Brittany get second life • FRANCE 24 English

It began as one of Hitler’s craziest ideas: to construct 4,000 kilometres of defences along the entire coastline of mainland Europe.

In the Finistère department of Brittany in western France, a half-buried bunker now houses a museum featuring the voices of those who lived under German occupation.
