Sounds like a pretty interesting site to poke around in. so whatt was the purpose of the dump, is it for obsolete or beyond repair equipment? Maybe it was for both. What type of facility was it associated with? I sometimes wonder about what "the war effort" really means in scale and scope, especially in terms of things being manufactured and recycled in the millions. There's so much activity from that period that has been forgotten or just plain ignored while the media focus on battles and soldiers. I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of it eventually. You might be able to find someone local that worked or was stationed there?
