★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Mooie historische bunker, voor liefhebbers van oorlogs geschiedenis een mooie stop onder weg van Vlissingen naar Fort Rammekes. Tevens een heel mooi uitzicht punt op Vlisingen en de Westerschelde.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Bullwark Flushing would have had several Type 114 A-Neu with a cast iron cupola and a artillery casemate from the type M170, the fortification was a regular target of shootings and bombings and you can still see the damaged today.
The Bullwark would also re-use a Dutch G-Casemate, which is the only casemate open to the public and restored, the pillbox was constructed in combination with three others in 1939 in order to finish off the defenses of Flushing harbor.
The radome could be closed off airtight and had been equipped with an air conditioner. In order to cool the machine gun, a water circulation pump was available.
A few hundred were placed along the coast line, near the Grebbelinie and the Hollandse Waterlinie, but most of them were scrapped by the German army, but this one survived and was re-used for the rigging of mines in the harbor approaches.
Most of the fortification had been demolished today and almost all of it is on private property and is being used by the fire brigade for training.
