I just got by that bunker last night! I believe it is inhabited initially
by the enemy, and, since it is a super-bunker, you can't destroy it. The
AA is a drag too. I got by it by first dropping paratroopers on top of the
bunker (getting a little hurt by the AA) -- you want to drop them before
the door so they don't have to battle anyone, and they don't keep on walking
to the front (I usually drop 2 waves just to be safe). At the same time,
I send some engineers to deal with the AA. All this has to be done fairly
quickly, 'cause the computer has a column that is pretty near to your side.
Its great when you have the bunker and the 2 AA guns -- the enemy can't but
be hurt when he flies by....
