In the bunkers of Park den Brandt you can discover how during W.W.2 an important section of the enormous German Atlantikwall was commanded from them. Besides extensive information on the bunkers and Atlantikwall in general also the air war is given attention. Especially the technical aspects of the V1 and V2, fired at Antwerp for 6 months, as well as their effect on the city and her port are elaborated on. Besides the very rare museum bunker (type "SK1") on special events and guided tours also the smaller, equally rare, medical bunker (type "VF57a") and a personnel bunker (type "VF52a") can be visited.
