Opening during repair: The basement was a military bunker with a spooky inscription (photo)

After confirming the information from the previous owners, the spouse began excavations and found a hopper with inscriptions on the walls. The couple-35-year-old Sean Tullier and his 32-year-old wife Caroline-suggested that the plot has a war past, because it is known that during the Second World War, the territory was used to place an artillery position. However, it was only during the repair of the garden that they received confirmation of the existence of storage.

Sean, which works with a carpenter, communicated with the former owner of the house through the social network. The woman recognized the kitchen in the photo, and remembered that there were several rooms under the house where she was playing as a child. Her father then filled the entrance to the bunker. A week later, the couple decided to re -remove the gravel from the yard and began excavations. They were helped by a friend of the family whom the excavator found.

In total, they took out about 100 tons of soil. Under the ground, they found a shelter consisting of two spacious rooms and a long corridor. Old bottles, fragments, tiles, evacuating hatch, and German, have been stored in the premises: "Achtung Feind Hort Mit" - which is translated as "carefully, the enemy echoes. " The depth to the floor of the bunker reached about 8 meters. The family decided to keep the inscription on the wall, which was partially damaged by air and humidity.

They plan to frame it or refresh it with a calligraph. Despite the considerable amount of work, the couple turns the old shelter into a playroom with a billiard table and simulators. Part of the room is already harvested - about 80 tons of concrete were used for this purpose. "It was really unexpected," Son said. "We knew about the history of this area, but we didn't expect to find something so well preserved. It's part of the story and we want to save it.

" He also confessed that he was dreaming of organizing a party for Gelovin in a bunker, and he hopes that this year it will finally succeed. Recall that during the Second World War, many inhabitants of the Norman islands were deported to Europe, and those who remained lived in a lack of food. The occupation ended on May 9, 1945, when the territories were liberated. Currently, local residents celebrate the day of liberation every year.
