Check out the street view here in Trondheim, Norway. The U-boat bunker «Dora 1» is pretty much intact. It is used as a workshop, bowling alley, music hall and other stuff. It was pretty much impossible to destroy the pens around Europe after the war, as it would require so much explosives the cities around them would be in danger of severe damage. Check out the thickness of one of Dora’s walls, from a hole blasted in 2005:
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

You can still see the imprints made by the boards used to form the mold in which the concrete was poured on the rebar supports. I assume this is how these were made, at least, rather than layering slabs.
The RAF used those massive 20k lbs bombs on some of the U-boat pens and even those could not totally destroy them or even put them out of action for any prolonged period of time.

I wonder how many slave laborers died building those for the Nazis?
