Military Excavation Tunnel

Second Train Tunnel Entrance

Located at the far end of the court inside the vast German command cavern, this second train-tunnel entrance is a shadowed rectangular maw—a tunnel mouth plunging into solid rock and flanked by concrete and tracks that vanish into darkness. Amid ammunition crates, radio equipment, and stacked supplies, it hints at deeper excavations and hidden access routes; its drafts, lamplight-borne dust, and the echo of distant machinery underscore its function as a potential route for reinforcements or a frantic escape.
