Summary

[edit]
Description
Nederlands: Tussen Groenehoek en de Klaverbladdreef in Wilrijk staat achteraan in een weide, een Duitse commandobunker uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

In deze omgeving werd in 1939 een vliegveld aangelegd, dat later door de Duitsers werd ingericht als 'schijnvliegveld' met alleen houten loodsen en namaakvliegtuigen om de vijandelijke verkenners te misleiden. De bunker is de enige constructie van het schijnvliegveld dat bewaard is. Het betreft een afgeknotte kegelvormige constructie in gewapend beton met één kamer. De werkruimte is gelijkvloers, maar de basis zit nog vijf meter diep in de grond. De muren zijn anderhalve meter dik.

Aan de oostelijke rand van het vliegveld van Deurne staat een bijna identieke bunker. Deze twee bunkers, met hun typische conische vorm, zijn uniek in Europa.
English: Between Groenehoek and the Klaverbladdreef in Wilrijk (Antwerp) stands in a meadow a German command pillbox from World War II.

In this area an airport was built in 1939, which was later set up by the Germans as a fake airport with wooden sheds and fake aircraft to mislead the enemy scouts. The pillbox is the only construction of the airfield that has been preserved. It is a truncated cone-shaped construction in reinforced concrete with a single chamber. The workspace is at the ground floor, but the base is five meters deep in the ground. The walls are one and a half meter thick.

On the eastern edge of the Deurne airport stands an almost identical pillbox. These two pillboxes, with their typical conical shape, are unique in Europe.
