In the dunes of Hoek van Holland are still numerous bunkers connected by underground corridors that were part of Hitler’s Atlantikwall. In the past bunkers were demolished but today it is more and more recognized that the remains of the Atlantikwall is a monument. The Atlantikwall was probably the last static line of defence. The build began in the Roman period and well known in modern history is the French Maginotline, the German Westwall (Siegfriedline) and in 1942 the Germans began to build the Atlantikwall from Norway to Spain to hold a possably allied invasion in Europe from the sea.

In the Netherlands there are still remains of the Atlantikwall. The tendency is to keep what is left so that future generations are able to imagine of this extraordinary period of our history: the Second World War. The preservation of the bunkers, however, is by no means self-evident. It is usually due to the huge commitment of volunteers

Since 1996, the foundation Stichting Vesting Hoek van Holland is devoted to the preservation and restauration of the Dutch and German fortifications in Hook of Holland, as well as making them accessible to visitors. The visitorscentre, the Atlantikwall-museum, is located in a German bunker for artillery. The bunker of the type 625b was originally fitted with anti-tank artillery of the kaliber 7,5 cm and was a part the defence of the Marine Flak Batterie Nordmole.
