Thousands flock to see unearthed Nazi bunkers

THE long Krylen beach in Denmark, which is peppered with Nazi bunkers, has become the big attraction this summer, drawing thousands of tourists for guided tours.

Four bunkers, entombed under the sand dunes of Houvig since 1945, were uncovered a few months ago in a violent storm, when giant waves swept away the sand, exposing glimpses of the cement and iron structures.

While thousands of bunkers were built by the Nazis along Denmark’s western shores to fend off an allied invasion, the recent discovery was a sensation for history buffs and archaeologists.
