Hello, today, I went to the casemate of esch, it’s near hatten “musée de l’abri”. The visit tooka bit because we had an itneersting talk with those of the association who owned the site, I took a lot of pictures and the bunkkerappear to have been damaged during the battle of hatten.











Me compare to the sherman:

I got more pics if you want, I also got this book with testimonies of the battle:

Edit: The guides also gave us a demonstration of a grenade launcher, the mechanism to release the grenade down still worked
