Regelbau 638

Regelbau 638: Kleiner Sanitätsunterstand

Before and during World War II, the Wehrmacht built several standardised bunkers and weapon positions in Germany and German-occupied countries. These buildings were called Regelbau, i.e. standardised buildings. This building, Regelbau 638, was a small field hospital (Kleiner Sanitätsunterstand).

At Fjell Fortress outside Bergen in Norway a fully restored Regelbau 638 bunker can be seen at the museum, Fjell festning. In 2009–2010 this bunker was restored inside and supplied with authentic German hospital and sanitary equipment from World War II by the local voluntary society Fjell Festnings Militærhistoriske Samlinger.
