Regelbau 638
Regelbau 638 was a standardized bunker design used by the German military during World War II. The term "Regelbau" translates to "standard construction" in German, and the number 638 refers to the specific blueprint for this type of bunker. These bunkers were part of the extensive Atlantic Wall fortifications built to defend against an anticipated Allied invasion.
Design and Purpose
The Regelbau 638 was specifically designed as a medical bunker to provide care for wounded soldiers. It was equipped with facilities to perform emergency medical procedures and to stabilize patients before they could be transported to larger medical facilities. The bunker was heavily fortified to protect both the medical staff and the patients from enemy attacks.
Features
The Regelbau 638 typically included the following features:
- A main treatment room equipped with medical supplies and equipment.
- A waiting area for patients.
- Living quarters for medical personnel.
- Storage rooms for medical supplies and equipment.
- Ventilation systems to ensure a supply of fresh air.
- Thick reinforced concrete walls to withstand artillery and bomb blasts.
Location and Distribution
These bunkers were primarily located along the Atlantic Wall, which stretched from the northern coast of Norway down to the border of Spain. The Regelbau 638 bunkers were strategically placed near other military installations to provide immediate medical support in case of an attack.
Historical Significance
The Regelbau 638 bunkers played a crucial role in the German defensive strategy during World War II. They ensured that medical care was available close to the front lines, which was essential for maintaining the fighting capability of the German forces. Many of these bunkers still exist today and serve as historical monuments, providing insight into the military engineering and medical practices of the time.
