Furnished Nazi bunkers surface in Denmark, 60 years on (AFP)

Tommy Cassoe, an electrician who has been fascinated by the existence of the bunkers since childhood, stands in front of one that was burried under the sand on the Krylen beach, Western Denmark. This bunker and three others, entombed under the sand dunes were uncovered a few months ago by a violent storm when giant waves swept away the sand.(AFP/File/Slim Allagui)AFP - With a tight grip on his flashlight, Tommy Cassoe looks like a Danish Indiana Jones as he crawls out of a bunker buried under the sand, one of 7,000 the Nazis built along Denmark's western shores to fend off an allied invasion.
