Summary

[edit]
Description The former station of the army in Göschenen is no longer accessible by rail. It looks rather abandoned but the facilities are accessible by vehicles to this day and the signpost of the army is still there. This was one of four places where after WWII mysterious incidents happened in ammunition depots. On August 18, 1948, a fire occured in depot 15, chamber 1, where ignition capsules No.35 of 7.5 cm shells were stored. I don't know which one here exactly depot 15 is. The other places were in Rueun (GR), Dailly (VS, 10 dead) and <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/kecko/19567818750/">Mitholz</a> (1947, BE, 9 dead). And the great mystery is, that all four incidents occurred at the same time, shortly before midnight. The cases were compared with each other, and it has been presumed that it could be copper azide, emerged at detonators, or chemical decomposition of nitro-cellulose powder.
