Default Re: Luger Factory Shipments

Going back to Ted's dream's of finding a warehouse of Luger's. Stranger things have happened. When I was stationed in Germany in '82. They found one of those underground hangers outside of Struttgart that the Luftwaffe was forced to build late in the war. It housed two ME-109's and an FW-190. Except for the fact that the rats had eaten the rubber parts and electrical wiring, the planes were flyable.


Less romantic, in 1972 the Germans were modernizing the road network around Munich in prepration for the Olympics. They cut an underpass under the Kaserne housing the 66th MI and AFEES headquarters. Before the US took it over, the AFEES building was the Bavarian Nazi party HQ. The digging uncovered some secret basement rooms that were used for arms storage. Unfortunately, afer 33 years everything had turned to rust. But we all can still hope.
