depot. The hill is full of caves about two to four meters high. Into them walls
have been built to shore up the sides. The hill is about 700 to 800 meters high.
Good roads have been constructed to lead to the top and the caves lead off the
roads into the hill. Most of the work of construction was performed by forced
labor, but the actual delivery and storage of the ammunition is performed by
soldiors. The combined capacity of all the caves would be about 1500 peopleo~

river boats. Some of the materiel for storage was transported via river boat and
unloaded at this docks
