Hitler's Secret Arsenal Found In Moselle Valley
American Third Army troops uncovered a vast German gun factory west of Thionville near the Luxembourg border. The plant, with 2,000 workers, produced 88 mm cannons and 10 to 12 inch guns for England bombardment, leaving behind timecards and a letter from Hitler. The discovery explains why the Moselle valley saw intense German defense as part of a hidden war industry network.
