Good Monday morning to all. Time for the 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week. Being a machinist myself, this photo hits close to home. Pictured is a fully operational underground Nazi factory discovered near Thionville, France. The machinery pictured was used to bore 88mm gun barrels. I imagine that it was kept pretty busy.
