Schwepnitz secret base

Aerial photo of the Soviet secret base at Schwepnitz, before 2006, when it was "sanitized" by the actual German government : above ground facilities were bulldozed and completely levelled, and underground entrances were covered with concrete. You may see the original Russian caption and the English translation made by yours truly. I apologize if I made some minor errors in the translation, but my russian is not very good...

  3. Katy: In the picture? I have no idea where the swimming pool is. Remember that it is surely empty, so it will be difficult to spot.
