‘Labourers’ is a polite euphemism for slaves.

Cozy and well-lit, but it smells like fish.

That took an incredible amount of labor. It’s something I would expect Kim Jong Un of North Korea to do; endless, seemingly pointless hard labor.

What was the incentive for the other Germans to do it?
Were they prisoners? No OSHA in those days. No Labor Unions, No counseling for PTSD either, claustrophobics were on their own.

It’s a remarkable curiosity, but I don’t know why you would want to spend significant resources maintaining it.

Must have been used for that scene in “Logan’s Run.”

Why do they point out it’s the size of “Donald Trump’s White House”? Did he build a whole new one?
