Even after 70 years Germany’s bunkers from World War II stand strong in several wartime territories. British photographer Jonathan Andrew set out to find the defense shelters and capture history in his eerie photo series.

Andrew began his quest in the winter of 2009 and traveled to Netherlands, France and Belgium. When he spotted the defense bunkers he was enthralled and wanted to take a closer look with a photo series.

“I originally found the geometry and shape of the structures fascinating and the fact that they were just left standing alone in a farmer’s field or on a beach,” Andrew told Caters News Agency. “It was as if they were still on guard but nobody had told them the war is over. Once I started photographing them it was impossible not to be moved by what the buildings symbolized and what they have witnessed.”

The now Amsterdam-based photographer continued to explore the wartime territories every winter in his free time between his regular assignments. In his search, he was mostly stunned to see the bunkers to be used for different purposes.

“It’s surprising to see some bunkers being used by farmers for other purposes, such as storing animal feed, farm equipment etc. I’m also amazed at the sheer number of them still around, some in very good condition.”
