Desciption: In Eastern Germany, just outside Berlin there's a town called Kummersdorf. There is an old world war 1 (german) training base that was used to build artilery ammunition during world war 2. Then, after the soviets came in, they expanded it to have an airbase and did rocket (space) motor testing here. This is the 300 meter high water tower that provided all the water and the cooling for the tests. The base is now abandoned, and we went exploring. (insert evil grin here) **for those of you who don't know, I'm terrified of heights, so climbing up a rickety metal staircase to the top freaked me out majorly!
