Romanian fortifications

Very detailed album with sketches of German fortifications on the Eastern Front.

Among them there are a couple of Romanian built fortifications (search for Romanian)

Which of these where the ones that fired on the Soviet Destroyer in the Raid on Constanta 41.?

None of these (field fortifications). That day only the german coastal battery "Tirpitz" (3 x 283) has opened fire...
It seems it was something like this :

Were there any Fortications on Serpant Island?

I read through the topic, from 2003 to present. I see no mentioning of fortifications in Bessarabia. Did Romania build before 1940 permanent fortifications between Prut and Nistru / Dniester?
I know that in 1944, while the Axis was retreating, the Romanian soldiers used for defense fortifications from the times of Stephen the Great, built almost 500 years before.

In primul rand buna ziua

Impreuna cu echipa mea de la ziarul online pe care il detin am intreprins in ultimele luni o serie de "expeditii" in tunelurile si cazematele din Constanta. Pot spune ca ce am gasit la cazino m-a surprins. Acolo sub promenada e o retea de buncare/cazemate legate prin tunele.

Separat de mine colegul Reverse de pe forumul Skyscrapercity a facut si el o serie de "investigatii"

Iata ce relateaza el

Astazi am sa intru intr-un buncar/cazemata aflata sub nivelul marii in dreptul Amiralitatii.

Insa o poza face cat o mie de cuvinte (pozele sunt facute ata de echipa mea cat si de colegul reverse):

















Azi cum ziceam incerc sa intru in buncarul asta:

Please use English when posting, and with this ocasion read the forum rules.

from Sf Gheorghe , In Danube Delta close to the Black Sea ,unfortunately it is flooded and the only way to get near there is by a smalll boat

Great photos!

Some 3 years ago i think they could be reached on foot just that there was a lot of vegetation and i gave up, the bunker looks great though.

can I post some photos with some individual holes (I think is call fox holes) form Topolog area in Dobrogea , they are from ww2 and they are orienteded to nord (I think against russians )?

Yes please

some old people from Topolog told me that was some fight in the past , there, and you couldn"t breathe , you could smell the burning flesh , but i don"t now if is true , the peopel look to me a litlle drunk

Hi guys,
It's my first post on RMHF, so I hope I won't violate any forums rules.

I managed to "get inside" of ALL the Constanta Casino area bunkers. I used quotes because It's almost impossible to get inside there, but I managed to get pictures from the interior of every bunker and pillbox there.

I am interested in history, but I have to admit I am not a WW2 bunkers technical specialist (my domain are the German U-boats). I explored those bunkers especially for their social importance - these are not just any pillbox on the field, but some kind of a romantic bunkers. Their location, on the Casino promenade, a place of beauty, peace and relaxation, just reveals the dual character of the human being. And how thin is the border between heaven and hell...
These bunkers, especially the two pillboxes on Eminescu statue area are worldwide stars - seen by millions of tourists. And everyone knows how they looks on outside... it's time to get inside for the first time in decades!


I'll just post screenshots of the site where I've published my work. I am not allowed to post many images on RMHF, and I don't want to violate the rules and just post a plain link.
