A middle/rear fuselage of an Me 262 is seen on a wagon outside the bunker buildings. Two bombproof bunker buildings are seen on their own. A tall derrick crane is seen moving objects from the facility. (Existing mining tunnels within the Walpersberg razorback mountain were expanded for production and bombproof buildings were constructed around its perimeter.

U.S. 4th Armored Division Commander Col. Hayden Sears forces German civilians to visit the Ohrdruf Concentration Camp in Germany (WW2)
