Atlantikwall in Denmark

The bunker of "Hanstholm II" was built during 1940-41 and housed a 38 cm S.K.C/34 in a "land turret" (Bettungsschiessgerät C/39). The bunker covers an area of about 3.000 m2 and housed the 90 man crew, machine rooms, bath room, toilet and ammunition rooms with about 160 shells and charges. Below you can see some pictures from the main battery and other bunkers in that area.
