collection location???

These pics recently appeared on a history forum at my work, requesting the Hotchkiss tank hulls to be identified.
When asked of the person who put them up as to their location, they gave a long winded story of 'urban explorers working their way through an old factory came across this undiscovered stash of WW2 vehicles/equipment'.
Sounds like an urban myth or someone just making crap up without really knowing too much.

Anyway, has anyone seen this location/collection? I would think that it is Europe and possible a museum storage facility.

Just curious as there are some really nice items waiting to (hopefully) be restored.

Looks a lot like the workshop/storage facility used by the French military vehicle club just outside Paris.

I have been a few times in this place , there are now even more vehicles in it .
It is not in France , and they are not forgotten.

The building is too well kept, so not forgotten.
Just amazing the type and quality of some vehicles out there, so many times you see vehicle remains in paddocks and scrap yards. Seeing this makes a change.

I think the collection is growing and changing all the time. Some vehicle do get to see daylight.....a few are displayed in the For Freedom museum in Knokke-Heist and the Bastogne Ardennes44 museum in Bras.
