Sowie Mountains, Lower Silesia, Poland, October 18, 2014. In WWII the German army started the largest underground project of the Third Reich, called Project Riese. Codenamed ‘RIESE’ which means ‘A Giant’. Thousands of prisoners of war were worked to their death constructing the tunnels, many only lasted a couple of months as the Germans worked them 24 hours a day. Children as young as 10 years old were put to work hauling mining carts with spoil out. Pic by Michael Scott/Alamy Live News
