Where were shelters in World War 2 built?
A shelter is basically an underground bunker. During World War 2 almost all nations that were subject to day and night time bombing from the air built underground shelters to protect their leadership as well as populations. In the UK for example, the tube rail system was adapted to cater for London's population during the night time "blitz". The British government also built elaborate bunkers in old disused tube stations and under government buildings to house the wartime cabinet. More often than not normal people simply converted their cellars into shelters, or in some cases built their own in the back of their property. In Germany, bunker complexes were built under the Reich Chancellery buildings and Hitler had his own "Fuhrerbunker".

Where did the Diefenbunker get its name from?
'Diefenbunker' is a play on words. During the Cold War, the Canadian government built an underground bunker near Carp, Ontario, a few kilometers outside of the nation's Capital, Ottawa. In the event of nuclear war the Prime Minister and a handful of people necessary for the functioning of government during war would be safe from attack. Not surprisingly, after an untold amount of money had been spent on it, the bunker was determined to be virtually useless. The "Diefen" part of the bunker comes from the surname of Canada's then Prime Minister, John Diefenbaker (1895-1979), who served in office from June 21, 1957 to April 22, 1963. The Prime Minister's toilet in the bunker came complete with rubber shock absorbers, so that it could withstand a nuclear bomb without cracking the porcelain. The Diefenbunker is now a Cold War museum.
Why was point du Hoc so important to D Day?
The Germans had built a concrete bunker to house a large coastal gun. This point of land protruded out into the water such that this gun could see and fire on any ships all along the coast. It was a threat to several of the Allied landing sites. As it turned out, the guns had not been installed or had been removed so this was not a big a threat as they thought.
