The worst part was that the communists believed this propaganda, for this purpose they built 48 thousand bunkers, all over Albania and many tunnels for weapons and ammunition, in the mountains. In this period, the Albanian people took refuge in prefabricated buildings, two families in an apartment as 40% of the state budget went to Defense and to a anti-nuclear tunnel to protect their head, which we will explore in this tour.
