Keroman 3 from the Submarine Base in Lorient.
The Lorient Submarine Base was a German U-boat base during World War II in France. Admiral Karl Dönitz decided to build the base on June 28, 1940. Between February 1941 and January 1943, three giant reinforced concrete structures were built on the Keroman Peninsula near the city. The works were designated K1, K2 and K3. Lorient was heavily damaged by Allied bombing raids during the war, but the bunkers were never decommissioned. Lorient was not liberated until May 1945.
