ARP Tunnels Still Accessible?

Submitted by Iloveoldhk on Mon, 11/07/2016 - 19:13

Any ideas?

The government reports tell us the location, size, geology, etc, but there is very little written about what conditions were like for the people that had to use the tunnels in wartime.

Here are the few references to the tunnels that I’ve found:
