At Fromelles Hitler was stationed in 1916 with the 16th. Infantery Regiment.
For a long time it was thaught he was staying in a bunker west of fromelles. Often referred to as Hitler's bunker but this is wrong ! Hitler didn't recognize this bunker during his visit.
A sign was placed here referring to Hitler's bunker but it is gone or removed by now.
The real bunker is located north of Fromelles at Rue de la Biette which he also visited during the visit in 1940.
