World War II Abandoned Places

Like described, a lot of photos included

This s a spooky book, in part as there are few humans to be seen among these ruins Most of the excellent color photos are of fortifications (mostly in Europe) large and small, many of them not well known here. For example, what appear to be Maginot Line ouvrage are actually contemporary forts built much farther east. The amount of effort that went into these facilities (let alone valuable steel and cement) is mind boggling, especially as few of them really held off an enemy for long. The row of tank traps on the cover photo is one partial exception. The book is we arranged and captioned--and thus hard to put down.

Disapointed, printed on what looks like recycled paper.

This is a lovely and well made book. The photos are fantastic. It’s not a reference or guide but just enjoy the pics if you like this sort of thing. Mainly photos with a few notes on each but you know what you are buying.

Really cool places to see when i retire.
