There are HUGE bunkers like this on the beaches and falling off the cliffs on the west coast of Denmark too.

This was known as the Atlantic Wall, a series of fortified bunkers stretching along the coast of France to discourage any invasion from the sea. The German used a lot of French labor to build these coastal defense installations.

Its really to bad that someone had to paint Gravette all over something as historical as those .

[fredmusni]

[donaldlynch]

I despise all the graffiti everywhere! It’s not art, it’s vandalism!

[MattMorganJP]

Thank you to every man who fought here for the rest of the world.

[larrybarnes]

Time and tide have done more damage than the assault.
The power of nature.

Thank the scumbags that defaced this sacred place

People in this world now have no respect for the people gave their lives so they could be free. Paint garbage all over historical landmarks. Maybe the next one with a can of spray paint will find a stray AP mine

[pseudoprodigy]

They were so close to saving the world

[ChrisBedfordForrest-csod]

So they've allowed punk-ass graffiti on historical markers now

In military organizations, an artillery or gun battery is a unit or multiple systems of artillery, mortar systems, rocket artillery, multiple rocket launchers, surface to surface missiles, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, etc. so grouped to facilitate better battlefield communication and command and control, as well as to provide dispersion for its constituent gunnery crews and their systems. The term is also used in a naval context to describe groups of guns on warships.

[mikegray]

The amount of respect that people have anymore it's just pathetic the men that died on that battlefield shouldn't have their memory trampled on by somebody wanting to paint

[Ragnarra]

Wars by nature are messy their is no undoing it and erasing history is just as bad. The most we can do is honor their sacrifice.

[VietPumpkinMPG]

Shame on those people who just did graffiti on a D-Day bunker that got destroyed

[JusticeRyan-nd]

Thats disgusting, defacing a solemn place where men died .I hope they arrest those punks who did that graffiti.😢

[AKFF]
