Sure, this is just a quiet house, only strategically located and with a good field of fire

Bloke on the Range, an expat living in Switzerland, takes a look at the Berner Oberland Krattigen 105mm “hidden” artillery battery which was housed in steel reinforced concrete bunkers made to look like harmless rural farm homes.

“Lots to interest troglodytes here, and there’s some interesting firearms on display too, including an MP43/44, MG11, several LMG25’s, a fortress-adapted Stgw 57, and some other bangsticks.”

Pretty neat stuff and a good insight into the Alpine fortress mindset.
