Disclaimer: Some of the images displayed in my album contain anti semitic graffiti. I'm not promoting anti semitism here but am only showcasing what's inside this bunker.

Today's post is about the exploration of a World War II bunker, that has been abandoned since approximately 1955, when Austria signed the Declaration of Neutrality. Construction began during the war but because of the siege of the Red Army, the bunker was never finished.
Nowadays, most of the former exits have been walled off with only one proper entry and exit remaining. Rescuing people trapped in certain areas of the facility would be close to impossible, due to some entrances being filled with stones and mud.

You imagine bunkers like concrete mazes and even though it looked like one, it was hard to get lost. It was very easy to navigate around even though the tunnels measure about 700m (0.45 miles) in total. Initially, there were around 5 to 7 entrances throughout the whole structure which made it impossible to get lost.

They are nice photos but I would rather see them linked to the report than have to keep going to your Flickr album

You're right. I tried embedding them before but it looked like they were cut in half, so now I used the resolution recommended in the guide.

totally my bad.
 
Great stuff.glad you got it all sorted.really enjoyed that
 
Nice set of images. Personally I would have just mentioned the anti Semitic graffiti and not shown it. In showing the vile stuff one is only helping to broadcast that vile rant from those hideous people!
 
They maybe vile and done by vile people but I think they should be shown.and not hidden.its a part of history and what horrible things were done.and if it makes one person think then it's a good thing.its like saying the concentration camps should not be open as a museum/memorial as vile things happened there.i don't think you should hide everything.i might be alone in my thinking here

No, I for one agree with you, the more folk that are aware of the vileness, the less chance it has of success, a lesson learned the hard way in the in the recent past.
You shot an interesting set of pics Anthrx, Thanks
 
As the philosopher George Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Having said that, those who can remember still repeat it, so...
 
Thanks for all the feedback, guys.

I have to say I understand both sides.
In one way I think the extra 2 or 3 pictures add nothing to the conversation, because we're not talking about the graffiti's I posted in particular - but about the act of neo-nazism in general.

Yet I feel it's important to show these pieces as they leave an extra impression. Neo-nazism is very real & even though most of us know what WW2 did to the world, some people are blind to see the reality of it.
