Thanks a *lot* everybody, this was the first task on Wreck A Movie that we now complete. We had a lot of good ideas, you'll see some stuff in the demo when it comes out, so thanks a *lot* to everybody!
It's great to see WAM actually working, and you people actually being so active!
One of the pictures in Iron Sky demo is the Hangar, where Nazi fleet has been prepared. The picture you see attached is a rough and unfinished render of one of these assembly & docking halls - under the central round slab are stored all the Nazi ufos - at least the ones in this docking hall.
Now, the rough design of the hall is pretty empty, and I'd like to add some elements there to make it actually seem like it's a big place with a lot of things going on. Your task is to come up with great ideas and elements that would fit in a hall like that.
You may either just drop a link to a webpage or a picture on the net, or even model an object of your own, whichever suits you the best.
Be creative!
And please note, this is a bit hurried task, since we're going to start to model the elements there next week, so keep your ideas flowing but be quick!
I've always thought that it would be cool to see old-model tanker trucks, kubelwagens and other such support vehicles in the hangar. The place is big enough that cars could/would be used to get around.
Any thoughts?

Having crane is good idea. How about if cranes woulf be mounted to the upper structures as they are in factories etc. This would make them easier to move they wouldn´t need so much precious vacancy.

You know those black/yellow warning sripes.. 
Essential for every street credible space hangar :P
(my photoshopping isn't so street credible in this picture.. but it isn't intended to be :)

Rocket engine repair and some tools laying around..
Pipe construction site, there could be some additional supportive structures.. and maybe
piles of pipes or something like that.
And a service platform to gain better access for the different parts of the spaceships.
Could there be a rocket and trailer? Here is one demo, no real textures added.
Some radioactive oil barrels could be nice. 
Fire extinguishers and hoses, first aid kits, emergency showers (drench/safety shower) etc.
I would expect there to be some written regulations and orders on the walls, with noticeable "Achtung!" and swastika on top.
Also "Ausgang" signs should be visible somewhere. I'm not sure if there are any doors to the area at all now...
I know the main controls are in the control room, of course. But Germans did have very advanced radio technology, and they used radios on battlefield a lot. Now, as this is certainly the high-tech area of the nazis, there should be at least some radio technology also clearly visible.
Furthermore, the nazis also did have the first internal TV-control systems in Peenemünde, as well as TV broadcasts in general. Including a control truck with radios and TV controls on the scene would enable an obvious joke: While camera shortly were passing by, a poor German guard could be caught watching nazi porn on internal TV! (Make that his fellow guard Hilde stripping for him somewhere else...)

Good shot, I also like the tanker truck -idea. Let's see if we can fit one into the picture. Jussi, your input was also good. Some colour would be good, and scale is also an important issue there.
the scale of the hangar is a bit off if you plan to drive around with cars or trucks. something very identifiable(yellow rubber duck?) should appear in the picture, which puts the space into right perspective. Humans will do the trick.The rail on the wall should be scaled down.
The picture could use some bright colorful details to contrast the overall grayish ambiance. walkways painted on the floor with yellow and maybe on the walls( zero gravity? ) too. Some other odd markings as 'parking verbodet' around a doorway etc...
Well, these pics are pretty much where the idea comes from. I think the old cars give a nice contrast to the scifi feeling:
