Besides the fact that they're not at war and against modern countries with IR and other advanced tech, it would never work?

That's awesome! Reminds of some giant movie set. I can't even imagine living back then though where your workplace had to be camouflaged. Damn good engineering.

because underground protection is better? Mittelwerk was 62 acres of production space used by the Nazis, camouflage looks cool but is useless after a leak.
