Plan Netherlands

Background: The Second World War died down, has successfully implemented the Marshall Plan, puffed pipes restored small factory in a small, tired Europe; nebolshshimi city blossomed, cozy house. And so 10 years have passed since the capitulation of Berlin, near became flexing its muscles in the battle acquired an old neighbor, and a new foe - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Combined into a single military alliance of Europe (and the United States, where, without them, and Canada) have rejected the friendship of the Soviet Union, to which he offended, went to play in a different sandbox with his friends, organized the Warsaw Pact. NATO member states have felt uncomfortable tingling in mezhbulochnoy area and began resolutely and secretly build fortifications.

HISTORY: Fabulously Green Kingdom of the Netherlands, or rather, the military Minister of the Kingdom, realized that two-thirds of the country is quite vulnerable to enemy invasion. That is, they oversleep attack from the German Democratic Republic as at wonderful Zwolle and Apeldoorn vzveetsya red flag. This permit does not want to, but because there was a wise and wily Dutch plan.





The gist of it is this: along the river Issel, which sleeve Rhine River to build defensive bunkers. The river itself by building dams in the event of an attack of the Soviets was to be blocked (and the Dutch in this art and there will not be equal). Water with frightening speed to burst out of bed and pour in width to 7-13 km. As we recall, the Netherlands - is the "Low Countries" below the water level ie that kakby hints.



Thus, the peaceful Soviet soldier met about 40 cm a cool refreshing water, kilometers of mine and antitank barriers and barbed wire on the bottom. Every road, bridge, telegraph and coffeeshop important object is picturesquely situated pour in concrete tanks Sherman equipped with anti-tank guns and machine guns.



for example, such ...



Tanks cemented so that the rear hatch of the machine was connected to the hopper and the crew could, at the end of the work shift, back to the smoking room



...



Bunkers, as in your Dembelskaya album are underground and divided into several types: hospital, the command bunker, and the one from which shoot at strangers.



At the entrance to each silo has a shower, in which a fighter, like Hippolyte of "Twist of Fate" was to bathe in the breech tunic, that neutralize human health from harmful gases. Boring call them military warfare agents



By the way, during the construction of bunkers, no one except the military, have not been the subject of what is happening. Some bystanders shot, giving a ridiculous incident occurred on the hunt ...



In the bunker brave soldiers were ready for any eventuality. And had masks.



... Eye fighter ... I could not spit it out ...



Sobsna, the hospital is equipped with the latest technology (then), and conditions allowed to operate citizen



quite a reception department ...



Even defibrillator had



And radiographic study. Our radiologists with good shots turned out like =)



Diesel. It works so far. It all still works. When a few years ago, the heat in Europe almost ruined the harvest, one of the Dutch government thought of a system of dams. With it saved the crop.



Visual inspection - required for admission to the hospital fighter. Blurred vision - the first symptom of poisoning CWA



radio room command bunker



... And encoding machine, such as Enigma, you're talking about it, and know so well



And finally. Of course, there is no mystery that will not be true ...
Sorry for the glare, did not succeed to dodge and photograph without them - a bit crowded in the bunker ...



There is a version that the cards were the fortifications in the USSR themselves. They have given themselves ... Dutch. To protect yourself. They wisely - have made it clear to the Soviets that it makes no sense to go to the Netherlands and losing troops when you can get around them ... Needless to say, the best fight is a fight that did not happen!



And, fortunately, is now a family with kids walk to these bunkers, not soldiers. The photo - a baby carriage, the view through the loophole command center
