Agreed.

All a well fortified bunker complex makes you is an easy target. Bomb it till it stops shooting at you (HE or thermobaric) then stick a long hose (with a blow back valve of course) from a propane tank down a hole and fill'er up. CO2 works well too if you want to see what they had down there.

All these articles about 200 foot deep bunkers are funny. Did not do the talaban much good did it?

Good point. If I remember correctly when the Japanese where defending the bunker complex that was Iwo Jima the Marines also used bulldozers to bury many bunkers under many feet of dirt.

In case you didn't notice Sadam Hussien's bunkers survived our best bunker busters. German engineering is pretty good.
