It’s so weird that those things haven’t been properly dismantled yet. In the 80s/90s they were filled with empty beer bottles and trash.

We have thousands of them remaining today. And usually buried in sand or in the ocean. That would be too expensive to remove because it’s a blockhaus (quite sturdy) and the sand + salt ruin the tools and engines used to destroy them.
And more importantly: it’s part of our history. We still keep our old castles so why not keep that. It’s a good reminder too.
Here a map of more than 2000 remaining blockhaus : https://www.cestenfrance.fr/cartographie-du-mur-de-latlantique/

I thought I remember hearing that they leave some of them around just as a reminder… But I could be making that up.

They are left as a reminder of dark times. But they are also quite hard to dismantle.

The desperate battle against the giant sea creatures was one of the most obscure episodes of the war.

Have you seen this “Jolie” around the city?
Basically my question is: is that the writer or a shoutout?

There is another one signed “jolie” on the other side. I think it’s the writer.
If it interests you: I also saw some tags by akse ameise in flanderen and they are from Cologne in Germany
