Earthen Barrack at Doeberitz

Notes:

Captured English sailors from a British submarine constructed this underground barrack at Doeberitz. They called the facility the "English Submarine" and the designer is standing in the middle of the British sailors by the entrance to the barrack in the white coat. Earthen barracks were warmer in the winter than wooden buildings and cooler in the summer.
