excellent photos Endel,,,can even still see the blast/fragmentation marks radiating on the timber after all these years,thank you for posting them
 
Nice photos.
I worked on a contract on an airbase a few years ago. One of the guys there showed me where a bomb had gone off in the war making a large hole in the floor. It had been filled in with concrete many years before but you could clearly see where the metal fragments of the bomb casing etc had impacted on the walls and ceiling of the hangar, I'm glad I wasn't there at the time (2nd WW).

Some pictures from an exploded German ammo storage.
