Description

Jutting out of the trees above, you see the derelict, eerie remains of Field Station Berlin, a spy facility that once hosted a thriving espionage operation at the height of Cold War tensions. 

The now iconic spy station was built by the American military in the aftermath of the Second World War, for the purpose of intercepting and monitoring Soviet radio signals.

These battered antenna domes looming above are remnants of a fascinating and layered history that connect the Second World War, The Cold War, and the present day.
