In Jastarnia (Hel peninsula in Poland), there are four bunkers of the main Polish line of land defence.
The four heavy bunkers have Polish names, these are:
Sęp (Eng. Vulture): An infantry bunker.
Saragossa: An infantry bunker.
Sabała: An infantry bunker.
Sokół (Eng. Falcon): An infantry bunker located near the Jastarnia-Chłapowo hiking trail.
The fourth bunker, Sokół (not visible in the photos), is located on a camping site on the coast and is visible from the road.
The bunkers were protected by walls 100-180 cm thick and a roof 140 cm thick. Each bunker was equipped with several machine guns firing from openings in the walls and from the covered dome on top. In addition to the machine guns, each bunker had a 37 mm anti-tank gun.
Bunker Sabała lies next to the railroad line and road, defending incoming enemy attacks together with the three other heavy bunkers. The Sabała bunker is also a museum displaying items and defensive tactics back in 1939.
