Potemk village in Brandenburg

The Soviet army built a Potemk village on the site of a military training area in the 1960s. The special forces practiced house-to-house fighting between the buildings. It is interesting that later prefabricated buildings were erected, of which a few remains can still be seen. Otherwise the forest has taken back the terrain. The buildings gradually collapse and trees grow between the walls. It's a surreal sight.
