Looks like something Trent Reznor would have for an album cover! (...minus the text of course...he'd have the trademark name in all lowercase!)

Referring to the fixed magazine above, none too clear on that

Andrew,

At first looked more like a Mosin Nagant to me, but then it is more rounded like the Lebel. It also has the swell at the back where the Nagant was largely straight. Good eye.

The rusted remains of a rifle on the top shelf appears to be an 8mm French Lebel rifle.

I think if it were generators the room would be much 'busier' with fixtures, like fuel piping, exhaust, engine cooling, electrical, etc. You'd see the scars on the walls if this stuff had been removed. More likely these were banks of air filters, similar to NBC filters you'd find in a bunker today. Companies like Andair, Temet Oy, or Drager, all in Europe, still manufacture these. Here's a CAD drawing link from the Finnish company Temet Oy:

I think the man on the right asks 'What are you building?' to which the other replies 'Pst! The enemy is listening!'. My German is unfortunately lousy though so take it with a grain of salt :-)

autoguy, thank you for the story. That's what makes this site so awesome.

"bas", thank you for the technical explanation!

Okay, what gives with blue sheep???

Some of this photography is soooo amazing. I've been interested in Urbex for a while, and studying these photographs inspires me to do more.

Thanks for posting these abandoned places photos.

Makes sense, thanks Hal!

Heya, just to bring some clarity into the topic:

those are actually no children coffins. As strange as it may sound - even today, there are sometimes still the remains of former Wehrmacht soldiers to be found. Since theres -literally- almost nothing left, those small coffins are used for the burial.

actually it says " The enemy sees your light ! Blackout!" Verdunkeln means Black out not make it dark.

Thank you Sonja!
