message: While I consider the stuff in the last section to be quite interesting and valid, it is a bit chaotic as well. I'll clean it up when I get around to it, unless someone beats me to it. Max robitzsch 00:55, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Building bunkers

message: Any more information on the Americana aspect of bunkers? I'm working on a project about that specifically - how bomb shelters and bunkers became such an American figure. --Oddtoddnm 03:05, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
Americana on "bunkers" should also include the 1980s and 1990s law enforcement sieges on "cults" in which tornado shelters, a shed housing an electric generator (MOVE), a fruit cellar (Ruby Ridge) or the concrete basement of construction for a new building (Waco Siege) were transformed into "bunkers" in the government press releases even though they lacked firing slits or other defensive or offensive features.

thread_title:  Americana 

message: Should these be mentioned somewhere in this article? Although not made from concrete (the spaces would be dug out of the ground, and due to the soil and climate the walls would set hard on their own). The chambers and access tunnels were too small for all but the smallest GI, who would have to leave most of his equipment and armour behind if he had to enter. Normally, if one was found, either GIs would be sent down to clear it, gas would be pumped in, fire/flamethrowers would be used, or high explosive would be put in. However, these methods often did not work - if the US had a bunker buster bomb, then it would almost certainly have been more effective at destroying/collapsing the bunkers. --80.41.47.33 08:41, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vietnam Vietcong Bunkers 

message: Another kind of Bunker semi-underground.
Exists in Australia, America and Britian, in Australia most of them were RAAF operations buildings built during 1942-1945 period and were built within a 6km area of an airfield. They were built of reinforced concrete (with steel mesh enforcement). The site of the bunkers were first dug out, generally it was dug at a ratio of 40/60 (60% below ground and 40% above ground)  the bunker constructed, and then covered with dirt. The more well know of these bunkers is, Bankstown Bunker in Sydney and Coffs Harbour (now the bunker cartoon bunker).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.107.133.4 (talk) 11:14, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Section on pillboxes in former Czech Republic

message: My father served in US Army Sixth Division in WWII, New Guinea and the Phillipines. Generally, a bunker was an earth and log emplacement, a pill box was a concrete gun emplacement. He described building bunkers as holes in the ground with room for about four soldiers, with a roof of logs and earth capable of resisting mortar fire (the best with at least two crossed layers of logs), firing slits facing the enemy, and a protected entrance/exit in the rear. American assault forces had to improvise; the Japanese defenders had the advantage of months or years of preparation in place. Also enemy pillboxes would be laid out so that making a direct gun or grenade attack with line of sight of the enemy machinegunners would put you in line of fire of the enemy machinegunners, making assaulting a pillbox with anything other than an indirect weapon like a flamethrower suicidal.

thread_title:  WWII Bunkers 

message: I have moved the text in the section Pillboxes into a new article called Pillbox (military) which previously was a redirect to British hardened field defences of World War II. I have done this because the sources tend not to include pillboxes as bunkers but instead mention them either as stand alone structures or as above ground protuberance from a bunker system:

message: Why so much detail regarding bunkers under houses?  Why so much stating the obvious (doors must be as strong as the walls....no kidding)?  In general it is a rather scrambled article too. Yevad (talk) 09:35, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
