Hi all just received in the mail my After the Battle magazine that feature Fromelles. It is interesting reading and I hope to be able to visit there on my next trip.

I am interested in the bunker they call"Hitler Bunker" and would like to be able to locate in on Google Map. If anybody has the log and lat I would appreciate them.

Thanks and cheers

Rick. You might be interested in this Australian video that appears to have been made before the new Cemetery had been opened.  It includes shots of Hitler visiting his Bunker in WW2.  If you go to Fromelles - ask for Monsieur Martial Delebarre or Monsieur Jean-Marie Bailleul at the Fromelles Museum and I am sure that they will be delighted to show you where the bunker is.

Rick, further to my message of yesterday, you might want to check out the website of the:

Association pour le Souvenir de la Bataille de Fromelle en 1916 (ASBF)

and

Fromelles, Weppes Terre de Memoire 1914-1918 (FWTM)

@

http://www.asbf14-18.org/

This will give you contact details for Messrs. Delebarre and Bailleul in Fromelles.

Good luck!
