Fresco's (small works of art), bunker numbers and bunker texts

This section consists of three parts. The first two parts show a collection of official texts, painted on bunker walls as a sort of "manual" for the crew of the bunker and for the purpose of identifying the bunker (bunker numbers). These are usually short, functional texts, nothing fancy.

The second category consists of fresco's (what's in a name!). Every now and then there were real artists among the bunker crews. Some of  these artists painted real nice works of art on bunker walls.
