In the event of war, these reserve demolition targets would be prepared

by
German personnel from the WBK (a quasi-military structured German civil
service organization, IIRC).


Thanks to all for clearing up something I was wondering about for some
time. BTW, the WBK is AFAIK the territorial army (not part of NATO),
which would have "garrision duty" in case of a war within German
borders (organising callup of reserves, protecting key installations
and so on).


They sure seemed to be an integral part of NATO when their rep briefed our
engineer OBC class back during the mid-eighties. I am not sure how any
element of the West German armed forces could have been labled as not being
"part of NATO"? We expected to work with them if the situation had ever
turned nasty, and I am pretty sure that in the event of war they reported to
the responsible military commander for their respective areas.
