Probably since this place hasn't been exposed much to visitors it has somehow helped in conserving that area just as it was back in WWII. The 105mm pictures are really interesting and it also seems to be in a great condition. Great pics Erik as always.

The M-19 is completely gone..... I don`t know if the British forces brought it with them, or if it was scrapped.

I have several more closeups, from a similar 105 mm gun in the same place!

Wow, looking at the conditions of the 105mm, looks like mother nature hasn't been rough with it, or maybe it is cause it has been covered.

Answer to a PM:

Seems like I have no good shots of the oven itself...... Maybe next time!
