Just when you think renovations are stressful enough. A couple in Normandy got a huge surprise when they dug up their driveway and found a Nazi bunker hidden under their house. Shaun and Carrie Tullier bought their home four years ago and knew German forces had used the area during World War Two, but they didn't know there was a whole bunker underneath. Someone who used to live in the house told them in March 2022 that there might be something buried there, so they decided to investigate. Shaun hired a digger and started digging up the driveway with a friend's help.
The bunker had been blocked up since the 1960s and was in surprisingly good shape. It has two main rooms and still has the original tiled floors, an escape hatch, and German writing on the walls, including a message that says "beware, the enemy is listening." The couple found dozens of old tins and other items left behind. They're now turning the bunker into a games room and gym while keeping the historic parts. Shaun says people often visit to see the history, and he thinks it's important to preserve it so people remember what happened during the war.
