It’s the end of WWII and the US is on the verge of defeating Germany. That’s when the military launches Operation Paperclip: a plan to bring German scientists to America to turn the country into the ultimate military power. But what these men did during World War II was so horrifying, the secrets of their true nature had to be hidden for decades.

@ecksmc i need to have a look, sounds interesting....there is BBC documentary about forgotten places, I think it's called exactly like that...the most interesting part was about constructions that were forgotten after WW2...I was surprised.

@Faustus ive seen a few programmes about that type of thing - also a good book "WW2 abandoned places" is interesting read

There are some remarkable "bunkers" around as well as other abandoned infrastructure, thats for sure, all over Europe

@ecksmc Exactly! I was surprised by all these bunkers, which, despite being in a desperate state, still look absolutely grandiose

@Faustus Next time I'm up around Devil's Point, Plymouth, I'll try to remember to get some pictures for you. These days, they're prime locations for shelter for the homeless so I need to show respect, but if nobody's in...

@ecksmc

@stueytheround oh really?!...I thought gov. doesn't allow anyone in...but from the othe sides these guys has at least roof to hide from rain and cold ...
@ecksmc

@Faustus These are mostly old gun emplacements.
Have a look on street view using the search terms upthread. @ecksmc

@Faustus ikr and mostly built in seekrit

The scale of some them is just amazing then factor in seekrit construction it's just mindboggling and astonishing
