Make your way down into the ultra-secret Command Bunker of the Belgian armed forces, the nerve centre of the supreme command during the Cold War.
The bunker, built in the early fifties, was oriinally designed to be the command post of an international air defence system. However, the bunker would never play this role. In the early sixties, the supreme command of the Belgian armed forces decided to equip the bunker as a command post in case of exercices, crisis or conflict. After the Cold War, the bunker stood empty. The Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and of Military History in Brussels was entrusted with the task of preserving this unique piece of military heritage and making it accessible to the public, in collaboration with the Ypres CCMP (Centre for Competence in Support Material and Products).
