Ijmuiden E-boat bunker under threat of demolition

Postby Mr.Spigot » Thu Oct 17, 2024 9:17 am

I have learned that the large bunker at Ijmuiden (Schnellbootbunker) is under threat of demolition. This bunker housed German E-boats during WW2 and was where MTB 666 was towed after its capture in 1944 and subsequently exploded, destroying several E-boats moored alongside. It was visited by MTB 5009 at the end of the war. The neighbouring bunker was badly damaged by the RAF and subsequently demolished but this one has remained and used as a chemical store.
