Schuilbunker Type 102v

The Regelbau 102V is a type of air raid shelter built by the German Wehrmacht during World War II as part of the Geldernstellung, a defensive line that ran from Brüggen to Kleve. These bunkers served as shelters for infantry and were designed to provide protection against artillery fire and air raids.

Features of the Regelbau 102V
The Regelbau 102V was a standardized design with thick concrete walls and a reinforced concrete roof. It could accommodate a group of soldiers and was equipped with features such as ventilation and loopholes for defense. The standardization of this type of bunker made it possible to quickly and efficiently build multiple copies along the defense line.
