The card below the mask reads "Staubschutzbrille," I'm guessing protective equipment from dust.

Yes, the subterranean air and cold water made created a very chilly environment.

I would say the boxes are around 3-4 feet long.

Yes, I believe it was real wood.

This bunker was restored to depict what it probably looked like, so the vintage items in the room were purchased, donated or found elsewhere.

The actual objects left inside the bunkers for over sixty years are usually deteriorated beyond recognition.

Hey, it is!

Your English is great, and thank you very much for the explanation!

I suppose someone wasn't confident in getting out, or perhaps didn't bring a flashlight, so they let loose a ball of string through the place.

Thanks, unfortunately this cannot be my career, as there is no source of income, only expenditures :-) So I think it remains as a passion more than a hobby.

I have gotten permission to photograph a few places, but usually there's a lot of sneaking around involved and risks to take. I think the legal system in the United States really prevents these places from being easily enjoyed.

Yup, it's getting beat up but works like a charm... just need to clean all the dirt off the sensor one of these days!

Thanks; I can't say for sure but I believe either one or both right-side doors were used to access the refrigeration machinery. If only one door was used for access, the other was most likely for storing tissue samples or body parts that needed to be refrigerated.

A few other buildings are occupied, and the power house is still maintained, but most of the old buildings have been left in disuse.

I poked around the powerhouse and one of the small buildings there, not much to see unfortunately...
