Secret World War 2 tunnels in Corinth, Greece

Показать описание
Following the fall of Greece in 1941, the Nazis fortified the Corinthian Isthmus. They've ordered the construction of bunkers and machine gun posts to secure the waterway, as well as a network of ammunition storage tunnels about 1km away to provide supply and support for the network of defences.

They are likely to have used local labour to design and deliver the fortifications : None of the structures or tunnels appears to be Regelbau, and there's a conspicuous use of local stone, typical of Greek architecture. However all sources testify to the wartime origin of the tunnels, and that inconsistency with how Nazis usually built bunkers and tunnels makes the ones in Corinth very unique.
