Everything related to WWII and Germqmy had to be burned buried or blown up. They did not want the Nazis to have any ability to come back into power

No sef-respecting mason would lay claim as that being a very poor attempt to build some sort of temporary restriction for foot traffic.clip that thing with the corner of a dolly or hand cart and something if not everything is going to crumble. Not very german, must be a Russian attempt.

I believe most bunkers had plumbing, including sewer disposal, it was just never completed in this particular fortification. Here are some stalls I found underneath Berlin http://opacity.us/image6895_funf_stufen.htm and the toilets were primitive, like this http://opacity.us/image4949_bathroom.htm

The pipe came up a little under my knee, probably 2-3 feet tall. Extra lights are definitely a must have!
Thanks for another fabulous and interesting gallery. I guess you take extra flashlight batteries LOL. That pipe doesn't look all that big, and I would be scared to death that it would be blocked at the other end and not enough room to turn around in the pipe!
I agree with Jude.
