Cold War
The observation and warning infrastructure of a divided world.

Source names may describe surviving structures, former features or larger complexes. Current condition and permission to visit require separate checks.
The most represented themes here are cold war (6 records). Counts reflect the selection method and recording coverage, not the historical prevalence of each structure.
