Life in a bunker

Travelling through the Bulgarian coast you can find interesting buildings from different historical times. Some of them are over 1000 years old, and some just 70 years, like the coastal defence bunker below. It was built to protect the seaside from the Soviet marine attack from the Black sea.


The entrance is from the land side. It is not straight to protect the soldiers inside from the fire of the potential attackers that could surprise them from the rear. Let's go inside, obviously holding our fire.


There is pretty much space inside and 2 meter wide walls ensure nice temperature even without air conditioning. Please note the metal curtains over the shoting windows. Closing them would ensure protection even during sleep.


On the walls you can see the original equipment from the Second World War: rifles (just with eliminated shooting mechanism), helmets, canteens & bags.


And a gas mask of course.


Unfortunatelly they are not my size. 


So I've asked my human friend to show you how Darth Vader looked in Second World War times.



We divided our duties. My friend was monitoring the beach through the binoculars.


And I was ready to fire from my light machine gun DP-27.



So beware and behave on the beach!
