From the April 3, 2011 Wales Online.
A bunker from World War II was recently opened to the public for the first time in over sixty years at Grd Coesau-Whips Woodland near Rudry.. Foresters cleaned out decades of brush and built a path and fence to keep people from falling into it.
This concrete bunker was built for secret auxiliary units set up to relay vital information about enemy movement as Britain braced itself for possible German occupation.
Had Hitler's forces invaded the island, resistance fighters would have lived off the land and launched sneak attacks on the Germans.
Things Were Getting That Bad. --GreGen
My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
