As part of the 'UAC Polish Connection Tour' the now Polish resident SlimJim and myself visited this awsome site, its truely massive and we dont think we even saw half of it before we where beat. The site itself is spread over 5,800 Hectars.
This garrison became home to around 15,000 soldiers and civilians, around 550 buildings, a load of tanks, anti-aircraft missiles, tactical missiles and of course nuclear missiles.
Four of the weapons were allegedly destined for England, to take out Thor (PGM-17) missile bases in Norfolk and Lincolnshire, while others were for US air bases in Western Europe and at population centers such as London, Paris, Brussels, the Ruhrgebiet and Bonn. These things where pretty nasty and supposedly 20 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima....

We both have promised to go back to see the rest of the base and maybe even a cheeky camp out if we can find away of making sure we dont get taken out by wild boar or dragged off screaming by the wolves that live in the forest! But for now here is some of what we captured -
