A few days ago, I mentioned these structures on the beach in Skagen which looked like forts, but had no holes or spaces for entering into or shooting out from. It turns out this was actually one of many former Nazi fortifications strung all along the coast of northern Europe, which have been completely sealed up and left to slowly crumble. There were a lot more of them around Skagen, but I only spotted a few in my galavant.
Mystery solved by my parents, who found and sent a link to an interesting site about the "Atlantic Wall". The site's creators actually managed to get inside one of the bunkers I saw. It would have been great to get in there and poke around.
