20 Blast Damaged Armored Door

When the American forces breached the fortifications of Block 8 with direct 155mm cannon fire, the Germans retreated down into the tunnels and towards the entrance. They set charges to blow up the ammo in the magazine and fled from the bunkers. When the charges and ammo blew this armored door was bent and its frame broken as you can still see today.
