What kind of bunker? MG, observation, artillery? I don't believe there were "standard" plans as each bunker had to be built in different places covering different terrain with their fields of fire.

I plopped "German Bunker photos" into Google and got the following. Maybe something will be of use for you here. Good luck.

Hey

If you could be more specific (artillery observation? with or without armoured cupola?) you can send me a PM. I've been studying bunkers for some time now (especially at Walcheren, Holland) so I have some knowlage and interesting reference material in this area!

Both Verlinden and Custom Dioramics make several German bunker designs. I believe Custom Dioramics makes an Observation Bunker.
