You're Top Poster: #9  | Yes, I saw this - I was going to post it if you hadn't first! It is strange that it was "lost" in the first place. But presumably, people immediately after the war didn't think about preserving artefacts from the war, understandably prefering to forget the whole thing. It wouldn't have taken more than a few years for nature to take over and hide such a structure. |

Another dent to the French economy. No doubt it was well spent on the road to Germany.

You're Top Poster: #11  | What a super programme, and didn't Richard Hammond do a great job presenting the programme. Very good re-enacted scenes and a lot of good information. 10/10 from me. Sniper
