Untouched Nazi bunker found in France

[Cobra {sfx}]

GRANDCAMP-MAISY, France: A British man plans to allow the public to see a perfectly preserved German bunker he found untouched for 60 years in a French field.

   

   Gary Sterne said he bought a World War II U.S. military map at a French garage sale, and followed it to the field near the coastal village of Grandcamp-Maisy. Walking through the field, he felt concrete under his feet and discovered the bunker in 2002.

   

   He bought the properties from local farmers and discovered an underground network that spans 20 acres.

   

   Offices still contain books, maps and papers, radio equipment and reading glasses. In the cookhouse are knives, forks, crockery and a large stove, and bunks have boots and water bottles stacked beside them.

   

   Sterne hasn't announced a date for when it will become a tourist attraction, the report said.

i have seen a pic of this somewhere, either in the paper, although i read the mirror so i doubt the pic was in there as cobra would have seen it, or it could have been on the net.
