Interesting fact: I'm betting I'm the only Auto Boad poster with barbed wire from a POW camp and atomic bomb parts in the garage.

You really don't know? I thought it was common knowledge that the only U.S. assembly/disassembly plant for nuclear weapons was located in Amarillo.

Pantex

And things have changed. Forty years ago, the main contractor was Procter and Gamble. Employees wouldn't admit what they did. The standard answer was that they made soap.

I really didn't know.... I imagine Mr Dubi knows, but I'm not too hip on nuclear weapons.

How does one acquire such things?

The former when I took the kids over to the site of the WWII Italian POW camp SW of Hereford. The farmer who now works the land had rolls and rolls of it. He let me take a small strand. The latter, working on the weapons program. They disassemble the bombs at Pantex, and send the pieces out to be destroyed (if classified) or recycled (if unclassified) They occasionally let the people involved buy some pieces for souvenirs. We have some tail fins and some lift lugs that attach the bomb to the aircraft. Really, really nice machine work.

Camp water tower - tank was wooden, included a walkway around outside for guards

TThere's also a fascinating story about how the POWs did amazing art work for the Catholic Church at nearby Umbarger, Texas.
