here are the pics of a former German submarine base from the WW2

it's in Saint Nazaire, in Southern Britany

the funny thing is this town was the last German base in France to surrender in 1945 (after the 8th of May) that is long after the liberation of France (Paris was freed by the end of August 1944)

you can see the camouflage paint in some of the pics

you're welcome Stug,

the base was composed of 14 pools holding around 20 U-boot

it's now a tourist resort and two of the pools are now part of a soy factory
