A complex of World War II German ammunition storage bunkers (alvéoles) located near the former Amy airfield in the Oise department of northern France. These reinforced concrete structures were part of the logistical infrastructure supporting German Luftwaffe operations in the region. The site represents a lesser-known component of the Atlantic Wall's interior support network, designed to securely store bombs, shells, and other ordnance for aircraft based at the adjacent airfield.
The bunkers are typically characterized by their robust, windowless construction with thick reinforced concrete walls and roofs, often featuring multiple compartments and blast doors to contain accidental explosions. Their design follows standardized German military engineering principles (Regelbau) for ammunition depots, prioritizing safety and dispersal. The geographical context places them within a region heavily fortified by Nazi Germany during the occupation, which included numerous airfields, V-weapon sites, and coastal defenses.
Today, the remains of these storage bays are largely abandoned and overgrown, serving as a historical site for military heritage enthusiasts and urban explorers (urbex). They offer a tangible insight into the scale of German rear-area logistics in occupied France. While not as famous as nearby sites like La Coupole, these bunkers are a significant part of the region's WWII landscape, illustrating the critical, though often overlooked, supply chains that sustained frontline operations.
