One of the NS-underground facilities "Marmor" . Styria . Austria Europe

The subject of this photography made at thje original location is a relic from what is probably the darkest chapter of Austrian history. It concerns the underground relocation of the war-important armament industry of Steyr-Daimler Puch near Graz, with the code name “Marmor”, which took place in the last months of the Second World War under great efforts and human sacrifices near Peggau in Styria. As in numerous other places in the Third Reich, underground armament factories were built in the territory of what is now the Republic of Austria, in order to provide bomb-proof accommodation for the armaments industry, which was vital to the war effort, after air sovereignty over the Reich has been lost to the Allies. To this end, large numbers of forced laborers from concentration camps were usually made available by the SS, which contributed significantly to the expansion of the camp system throughout the Reich. The construction of these underground facilities claimed tens of thousands of lives and continue to occupy the state and landowners as problematic inherited burdens to this day.
