Awesome old siren - Old German WW2 siren in ACTION - rare deep sounding siren

Now it is time to present you a further interesting close up siren video of an old german "Elektror-siren" from WW2-times still in function. (here you can see/hear only the low-tone unit with big 3 ports!). And so it has a very deep siren-sound and this is a curious and scary thing when it runs.

The test-signal is called "alarm" (available in Austria) and it has the purpose to warn the population in case of dangers like e.g. chemical accidents. Of course this old siren is still in function to call the firefighters in case of fire.

Well if it's purpose now is to call firefighters in case of a fire, what is going to happen if WW3 breaks out and they start using that thing again?

@e57michel More in a post apocaliptic world in which the citizens of a citadel must confront the zombies.

@l0v3rsuck There are already sirens in place for such a thing actually. Most fire hall sirens are doubled with disaster sirens throughout most counties in most of the states. For example my grandfathers firehall houses the box to set off the different sirens and warnings for each type of disaster.
