Wolfgang Wuermel, owner of the Kindsbach Cave, details a map of the Air Defense Operations Center bunker Aug. 16 in Kindsbach. The bunker was built prior to World War II and was utilized for command and control operations for the German army. After the war, it was passed to the French, who used it primarily for storing munitions. The U.S. Air Force gained control of the bunker in 1954 and turned it back into a command and control center where air operations could have been led if the Cold War turned hot.
