The broken concrete of a submarine bunker

On a bank of gravel and debris, huge slabs of concrete lie cracked and tilted where a roof has collapsed; one long section, streaked with the marks of its formwork, rests at an angle over the wreckage, and broken beams and blocks lie scattered in front. The source describes the U-boat pens on the Elbe just above Hamburg, their concrete damaged by bombing and by demolition. The British set about blowing up the pens that had sheltered submarines in the last years of the war.
