  • Now housing bowling and gocart.
  • Actually, this is the Dora II bunker. The following excerpt is from the book, "U-boat Bases & Bunkers 1941-45" by Gordon Williamson. "As soon as work on Dora I had commenced, planning began for a new bunker (Dora II) in the same harbour and just 140m away. Dora II was to have four additional pens, two 13.5m-wide wet and two 20m-wide dry, thus allowing for the accommodation of a further six boats." "Unfortunately, the demand for skilled workers by the huge bunkers being constructed in France meant the small workforce available for the second bunker at Trondheim made slow progress, and the structure was only 60% complete when the war ended."
