that Prospect Park, in Brooklyn, hosted a portion of the city’s anti-aircraft defense during World War II? The area hosted three hundred soldiers, manned batteries, underground ammunition dumps, observation towers, repair shops, and barracks. The defenses were disbanded in 1944, but still, traces of slit trenches and sandbagged gun emplacements could be found for many years afterward.
