Luftwaffe Werkstatt Antwerpen at Fort2 Wommelgem

[SIZE=medium]As a guide in one of the Antwerp forts from 1865 (Fort2 Wommelgem), you certainly come along something of WW1 and WW2 as well.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]In fact, the German Luftwaffe units used the fort as a Motorpool for maintenance of trucks. Many of their constructions are still around. Here are some pictures of them:[/SIZE]
