WWII remnants and relics in Tunisia and Algeria

Hello everyone,

I will be visiting Tunisia and Algeria later this year, and am keen to visit any WWII sites that are open to the public (I realise some/most of Tunisia may be problematic for independent travellers).

I have read about the Mareth Line, cemeteries and military museums in both Tunisia and Algeria. I have also found some WWII wrecks that can be dived in Tunisia.

Although I enjoy visiting battlefields and there are some good resources on this forum, I am particularly interested in any WWII infrastructure that may be still in place, eg airfields or remnants thereof, surviving fortifies positions etc.

If anyone has any information on such sites in Tunisia and Algeria i would be very grateful.

Thankyou!

 

Yikes...that's fascinating and frightening...

 

Sounds like a wise move...

 

Outside Bechar Algeria is the remains of the French equivalent of White Sands Missile Range if that sort of thing interests you. That's where France tested their guided missiles and rockets up through the '60's.

 

Hello T.A. Gardner, thanks for taking the time to reply, and yes it interest me for sure! Hopefully that part of the country is open for visitors...

 

Good idea thanks!
