top secret it was

This construction with a roof in front of the well known Fondation Pescatore is a well hidden aeration from the underground casemate system. Former Berlaimont Reduit and Fort Charles. During the period of cold war this historic underground fortress was - in case of an atomic war - arranged as a a bunker for the Government of Luxembourg. This aeration you see in front integrated in the fence was equipped with a very simple filter system. During my activ time as geologist I had access to those old casemates and discovered an impressive wine collection underneath the Pescatore, an old peopleā€˜s home? Or left by General Patton: During the battle of the Bulge, 16th december 1944 until 25th january 1945, the Foundation was used as the main headquarters for American General George S. Patton.
