Bunker
A bunker is a defensive military fortification. Bunkers are mostly below ground, compared to
blockhouses which are mostly above ground. They were used extensively in
World War I and
World War II. During the
Cold War, massive bunker complexes were built to house both strategic (command & control) infrastructure as well as government personnel and stores for the event of a
nuclear war. During that time, bunkers became a part of
American culture with people building
backyard fallout shelters, though these were not intended to protect against direct attacks as bunkers normally would.
