First I have to say that this picture is only for documentary reasons. I'm not into Nazi stuff at all. Nontheless they had stylish uniforms...
The Krampnitz barracks were built from 1937-1939 as the central army school for horse riding, cavalry and driving on 0.46 square miles (1.2 km²). After 1941, mainly tank troops were drilled here. A huge area to explore.
In 1945 the soviets occupied the complex and removed all the german Reich symbols. Sometimes just by putting a bit of stucco over it. Like here. 1992, the russians withdrawed from Krampnitz and the barracks were abandoned.
From 2000, some of the abandoned buildings served as a filming location for "Enemy at the Gates" and other movies or video clips (Children of Bodom - Blooddrunk). The last big movie filmed here was Inglorious Basterds. During that time, some movie company must have removed the stucco at the ceiling, unleashing the huge mosaic.

While completely understandable, it still is a historical pity that so much of the architecture of the Third Reich is being destroyed.
Erasing all trace of any period of History has as many dangers as it does in keeping it. Imagine for instance, erasing all trace of the Inquisition so that in time people came to believe that it never existed and that ‘no sane person could ever believe that something like that could ever have existed.’
