Only the side named in the scenario's briefing notes may claim a normal bunker's benefits. The other side may still move infantry onto the hex but gets no dice reduction or ignored flag there, and armor and artillery cannot enter. A bunker is not removed when taken; it stays and still blocks line of sight. Field Bunkers from the expansions are the exception: they have a 360-degree arc and give their bonuses to whichever infantry unit occupies them, including one that took the hex from the other side.
