From the Jan. 8, 2013, Huffington Post "World War II Bunkers, As Captured By Photographer Jonathan Andrew."
Forty-two-year-old Jonathan Andrew is fro Amsterdam and started taking pictures of World War II bunkers across Europe in 2009.
So far,he has taken pictures in France along Germany's vaunted Atlantic Wall, built to keep the Allies out and the target of the D-Day attack. He has also catalogued ones in the Netherlands and Belgium.
It would be quite a trip to go to Britain and France in June of 2014 to retrace those events.

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.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
