There are hundreds of different types of standardized bunkers, so called Regelbau. These are categorized by Heer (army), Luftwaffe (airforce) or Marine (navy), and by function.
In addition, there are a lot of Sonderkonstruktion (specialconstuction), which are made specially to, for instance, a coastalbattery. Some bunkers are also known as Vf's. Vf is abbreviation for Verstärkt feldmessig, which means field reinforced.
