Today there are abandoned fortifications in many countries. There aren't many among them that retain their artillery pieces, but there are exceptions.<\/p>\n

The interior of two well-preserved Third Reich batteries on a British island<\/a><\/rel>
\nMaisy: the German Normandy battery that was mysteriously buried by the US<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

One such exception is on the island of Mljet, in Croatia. <\/strong>In the west of the island there is a military position that was built by the Yugoslav Army after the Second World War, in order to defend the Adriatic coast from possible attacks during the years of the Cold War.<\/p>\n

A veteran of the US Airborne Forces recently paid a visit there and had the opportunity to explore that fortification. Inside it he found a German World War II anti-aircraft gun in relatively good condition<\/strong>. It is, specifically, a FlaK-36 or a FlaK-37, caliber 88 mm. The video has been published this afternoon on the channel Tattooed Traveler<\/a>:<\/p>\n
