Cannon Shelter

This bunker was designed to house a 37-millimeter anti-tank gun, which, if necessary, could be rolled out by the crew to a field position next to the bunker. The bunker consists of two compartments, one for the gun and the other for the crew.  In this case, a location was chosen from which fire could be directed both toward the open field and along the main highway and the side road to Drężno. Bunkers of this type were located in open fields and, as they were less exposed to direct fire, were often built with lower resistance. Fifty meters below this structure is a combat bunker for two machine guns. Along the way, we pass a well-preserved section of an anti-tank trench. The site is located on the marked “West Pomeranian Fortifications – ‘Forgotten Fortifications’” trail.
