This Is The Rommell's Bunker Page Of Libyan Travels

Having just visited the painted cell where J Brill of The RASC resisded during WW2 at Al Birdi we then returned to Tobruk to look again for Rommel's bunker, which we, mercifully, found with ease compared to our efforts the night before It is not very dramatic: just a derelict, weed infested, rubble strewn, old parking lot with a few rusting military items: howitzers, tanks and the like.

In the derelict, weed infested, rubble strewn old parking lot next to it was the rotting rusty hulk of a WW2 American Air force plane, enormous, four engined, possibly B52 or Flying Fortress.

After all our efforts the night before that we put into finding Rommel's Bunker or Rommel's Schwarma as I had taken to calling it, much to our driver's amusement, the place was a bit of a let down. We left Tobruk and headed for Dirna but first we called at the Knightsbridge Acroma Cemetery where both British and Commonwealth war dead are buried.
