3_EbenEmael
Ammonition racks.
The entrence of the ammunition room below Maastrich 2 gun bunker.
Like this one wich is the door to the left of the blown one.
The germans took out the guns on top with shaped charges and entered through the gun ports and took the
stairs down to this room. One german placed a 50 kg shaped charge to this door and in 60 sec. made the run up the stairs to the outside.
Which must be an olympic feat. Some of the damages to the wall holding the door.
The belgian soldiers in the corridor were instantly killed. Unfortunatly for the germans despite all this they didn't gain access to the fort here.
Because this is what the blast did to the stairs.

After the attack the germans found out that 12.5 shaped charge was just as effective as the 50 kg one.
