Biasca. Forte Mondascia (CH)
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

It's not a full fortress in the proper sense, mostly a set of artillery position, without internal barracks or the like. It's still worth a visit if you are in the area. Until two years ago they only had a Pz 68, recently they acquired: M109, M548 and a bunch of M113s.
A local association takes care of it, plus other local fortifications.

The A750 is very much Zundapp-like, isn't it? Massimo
