    Hi.
    I came across this in a wood in eastern Germany. Is it a field bunker? Didn’t really think too much about it at the time but, looking at it again, it looks a possibility. There is evidence of trenches in the wood and there was heavy fighting there. Any info/thoughts appreciated.German position?

    No help if it is a position or not but that grey/blue sheet could be asbestos - be careful with it or do not touch.

    Thanks for the advice. I won’t get near it.

    Hello yeti,

    to me it doesn't look like a german position. The wooden pegs still look new, they haven't been in the forest for 80 years. IMO, it is more likely that someone there illegally dumped their rubble in the forest to save on disposal costs. I agree with Bigsieuk, it really looks like asbestos which can cause lung cancer. The responsible city should have it disposed of so that no one comes into contact with it.

    Best regards

    Foxholes and dugouts are frequently used to dump modern trash.

    Thanks folks. It saddens me every time I’m out in the woods to see so much trash dumped in such beautiful places.
