Creative series “ Pocket watch ” with background from the Dülmen-Visbeck Special Ammunition Storage , Dernekamp, Kirchspiel, Dülmen , North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany The photos were taken as part of the preparations for the project “‘What if …?’ Alternative World Stories at the Dülmen-Visbeck Special Ammunition Storage,” sponsored by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and organized by the Dülmen-Haltern am See-Havixbeck Folk High School. The Bundeswehr Ammunition Depot, located approximately 4.5 km south of Dülmen, was built between 1963 and 1965 as part of the St. Barbara Barracks in Dülmen. The special ammunition storage (SAS) within the ammunition depot was put into operation by the US Army in 1969. Over time, and particularly in the 1980s, the special ammunition storage in particular was made significantly more secure. The special ammunition storage was abandoned in the early 1990s Documented from an openly licensed real-object photograph on Wikimedia Commons; only the details stated by that source are recorded here.
