    Thank you for the context - it looks like an evil villain's hideout in a movie.

    @honeygrahams224 If I can put something in context it becomes more interesting for visitors to my lomohome I believe. These canons where never fired in anger by the way.

    I thought the marks on the roof were battle wounds, but later saw that you mentioned there was never a battle there...

    @pmonroe You're welcome! Thanks for the visit and like also! It's funny that. There's always a new story to tell about WW2.
