The submarine bunker Bordeaux[1] (French Base sous-marine de Bordeaux) was a protected submarine base of the German and Italian naval forces in Bordeaux, southern France, during World War II. The base was subordinate to the German commander of the U-boat fleet Karl Dönitz.
After the war, the submarine bunkers proved impervious to demolition due to their massive, reinforced construction.
