On 4 November 1944 soldiers from the U.S. During the autumn of 1944 the main front line in the Huertgen Forest ran close to Simonskall. The inventory of the bunker is almost completely original. There are also a number of other, much smaller spaces. Treatment Room 1 for ‘gas sick’ persons for example accommodated no less than 10-15 beds on just 2,70 x 5,00 metres. Only two treatment rooms were available for the patients. Here four medics could deliver medical assistance to about twenty wounded or sick soldiers.
Built in 1938 according to the standard bunker type 32 (10,20m x 14,90m), it is surrounded by 1,5m thick walls. It is the only one left of its type in all of Nordrhein-Westphalia. 374 in Simonskall is situated at the beginning of the road leading uphill to the village of Vossenack.
