Discovery of Another WW2-era German Secret Weapons Underground Facility

3 Jan 2015

In Dec 2014, the team led by Austrian documentary maker Andreas Sulzer discovered a planned, but not fully completed, secret WW2-era German weapons facility located in Sankt Georgen an der Gusen, Austria. It was likely for the research and production of atomic, biological, and other forms of offensive weapons that would later be categorized as "weapons of mass destruction". The town was already known for its underground complex "B8 Bergkristall" used by the Messerschmitt company for the production of fuselages of Me 262 jet fighters. Sulzer was working on a documentary on SS administrator Hans Kammler, who was in charge of the site.
