It's one of those events that remind us of a significant archaeological find, similar -in a sense- to the discovery of the Tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt.
A team of WW2 enthusiasts recently discovered and unearthed a Regelbau 506 type bunker which was built in March 1943.
The bunker lay hidden and undisturbed for 70 years, since it was sealed by the Allies, following the end of World War Two.
With the assistance of heavy machinery, the team managed to dig deep into the ground and get to the sealed entrance of the bunker.
Once opened, the enthusiasts found that the bunker lay undisturbed and they managed to salvage many WW2 items from it, including even a can of Coca Cola dating back to 1945, which was obviously left by the Allied soldiers who sealed the bunker!
The bunker contained a
4.7 cm anti-tank gun and machine gun emplacements. The gun types were of Czech product and design.
In regards to the Coke can. "The first actual production can for Coke was a test market can which was produced out of the Hayward, CA plant for export to American Troops overseas in late 1955." http://www.collectiblesodacans.com/Cokepg1.htm
