Tempelhof Air Force Base and Stolen Dutch Bicycles

A listener story from "Radar Man" describes the discovery of hundreds of stolen Dutch bicycles walled off in a secret room at Tempelhof Air Force Base in Berlin. The bicycles, originally seized by Germans during World War II, were reportedly uncovered during a radar installation project in the 1970s. The base personnel eventually refurbished and used the bikes for transportation around the massive facility.
