Bloodhound - a part of Swiss military history
Description
Discover a piece of military history! It was once "Top secret» but is now available to the general public. The Bloodhound Missile Station BL-64 ZG can finally be uncovered and discovered.
This military missile station was developed and constructed in the 60s during the Cold War. It is one of six of its kind in central Switzerland and Jura, all six of which were kept ready and fully functional all throughout the Cold War.
