This is (was) quite definitely a military bunker: https://europeremembers.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/sl201-atlantic-wall-02.jpg & is mapped as such: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/24894915, tagged as military=bunker, building=bunker + historic=bunker! (together with tourist=attraction, tourism=museum & half a dozen other tags). But should it still be tagged as such? It hasn't been used by the (German!) military since 7 June 1944, &, unless the EU is worried that those dastardly British may be planning on coming across the Channel again, it won't ever be! TI says that there are currently ~71k military=bunker. How many of them are active, current, military installations? 1000? Surely there is some cutoff, we do not tag medieval castles as military, > although they once were. No, but a church that was built in the 10th century, is still supposed to be mapped as a building=church, because that's what it "looks like", despite having since been a military barracks, a police station, warehouse, shop, pub & is now a private residence! Thanks Graeme
