Police in Kelheim said on Friday they had arrested a man who hoarded guns, ammunition and bomb-making material in a nuclear-proof family bunker he built fearing an attack by Russia.
The 59-year-old electrician had constructed the emergency shelter by expanding and reinforcing the basement of his family home in the small town near Regensburg in Bavaria.
Police said they had confiscated two submachine guns, 80 rifles, 60 handguns, 20,000 rounds of ammunition and 40 kilograms of materials to make explosives. …

—would be interesting to know how one acquires an “arsenal” such as this in a country boasting strict “gun control”—
Can’t have people defending themselves in the New Democratic Socialist Paradise overseen by that champion of Freedom who grew up as a Stasi thugette.
I guess his bunker didn’t protect him from the police eh? Pretty lame bunker I’d say
We’ve got provisions, and lots of beer.
First rule about bunkers. No one talks about the bunker.
“Police said they took three days to enter and explore the extensive survival shelter and weapons arsenal, using power tools to crack through the walls.”
Looks like it kept them out for 3 days. That is about 3 days longer than anything the SWATy folks run into in the US
+1.

Now thats an arsenal!
—yeah—as with many of us, I get amused when the media describes a handgun , maybe a couple of rifles and a shotgun, along with 400-500 rounds of ammo, as an “arsenal”—
would be interesting to know how one acquires an “arsenal” such as this in a country boasting strict “gun control”—.................................... LOL, when the war ended in 45’ you could help yourself to all the weapons dropped on the street. I was told back in 62’ by a former elderly German Officer that he had a large collection of gathered weapons stored in his basement and intended to keep them for when the Russians invaded. I’m sure there were many others thinking the same way.
I’m sure there are quite a few weapons that “disappeared” after WWII.
As far as the bunker being “nuclear proof” I have to call BS. Maybe nuclear resistant but not proof.
