Hoek van Holland, Roomse Duinen.
WNB, KVA Dordrecht, Festung Hoek van Holland, "Bunker dorp" Roomse Duinen, Wn. 25 M.

In the after land of Battery Vineta in a other peace of dune land the Germans build a kind of "bunker dorp" in the Roomse Duinen from about 20-25 light bunkers mostly for personnel use.
The Germans left this location somewhere around 1943 because the bunkers where not strong and useful enough.

After the war there was in Holland and where not in Europe, a shortage for living pace for families because there was so many destroyed. So many of those "bunker village" where standing empty and where mostly build to settle German personnel so they could easily transformed into more or less "normal houses" for family use.
During the 60's most of these bunker villages where not longer necessary and where re-used as "holyday homes" during summertime. Some of these bunkers where used by Scouting groups and later on the hole village was covered under sand.

In the last 2-3 years some one in Hoek van Holland has started illegally to excavate some of these bunkers and starts living inside some of them. In January 2012 he's caught by the police and they found all kinds of goods that where stolen in the neighbourhood or else where.
