Inside the abandoned Soviet base the Cold War left behind

[Jaga]

interesting video showing abandoned headquarters of Soviet military in Eastern Germany with lots of Soviet propaganda:



It is 30 years since the tumultuous events of 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, the Iron Curtain lifted and the Soviet Empire began to crumble.

As part of a special series of reports on how Russia views 1989, BBC Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg has travelled to former East Germany.

He took a look inside Wünsdorf, a complex near Berlin that housed tens of thousands of Soviet troops.

Your presentation certainly rang up some bells in my head with the name,"Wünsdorf". That once was the headquarter complex for the Wehrmacht and location for a very large underground communications network. Of course as common knowledge, upon end of war, the Soviets took over the complex for their use:

Karl,

yes, the video explains its origin as Nazi complex. I think Soviets would not make it as powerful and amazingly looking. Thanks for the reminder
