This underground bunker is most likely not really a bunker, but a flank battery. A battery was a place where the weapons were stored and the guns were located. A flank battery means that it concerns the battery that was on the flank of the defences.

This is not a bunker but probably a Flankbatterij, so fire at enemies close to the fortress.

The title of my photo is ''The flank battery is shooting at the soldiers who are attacking the fort and have approached very close.'' So it is a flank battery that fires along the wall so that enemy soldiers can be shot at close to the wall.
