Battlefield Relic Folklore and Urban Legends
We are firm believers that almost all folklore and urban
legend type stories have a kernel of fact. Stories may
become exaggerated over the years, but somewhere down the
line a genuine incident occurred that spawned the legends
and strange tales.
If you served in Germany and heard any strange stories about
tunnels, secret underground military installations, hidden
hoards of aircraft or armour in underground bunkers, hangers
or mines we would love to hear from you! Please
email us.
Tempelhof International Airport (Berlin,
Germany)
Rumours of flooded tunnels filled with Tiger tanks and war
materials beneath Tempelhof International Airport have been
reported by US military personnel who served in the area in
the 1960's. Thus far unsubstantiated.
Merrell Barracks (Nuremberg, Germany)
Rumours of secret rooms and tunnels under
Merrell Barracks have circulated amongst US Army personnel
for many years. Prior to the American occupation the
barracks were used by the SS as a signals school. Some of
the rumours have suggested that there may have been a secret
bunker under the site used for storage of high value items
or even a hiding place for Hitler himself. Thus far
unsubstantiated.
Giebelstadt Army Airfield (Giebelstadt, Germany)
Rumoured home to a complex of underground
aircraft hangers.
