The Atlantic Wall of Denmark (Part 3)

Before my vacation, I didn't get the chance to post the rest of the photos from our tour of the Blavand part of Hitler's North Atlantic Wall - a lapse I will make up to you with this post now :)

What you see here is what reamins of the "Mammut-Stellung" (Mammoth-Emplacement).
This was a command bunker of the Luftwaffe with a huge long-range radar array on top of it. You can find more information on the type of radar used here.

There are two towers on top of the bunker (you can't see the second one because of the angle). These were the foundation for the radar array and contained the cable shafts that led to the control room.

The Atlantic Wall of Denmark (Part 2)

As promised, here are the next photos from my short trip to a part of the North Atlantic Wall in Denmark.
The coastal strip we visited had various types of bunkers:

Right on the coast are groups of bunkers with machine gun and small artillery fire, a little back is a bunch of crew bunkers as well as more artillery batteries and artillery observation posts.
On top of the highest dunes are the command bunkers of the FuMO 214, a radar called "Seeriese" ("Sea Giant") and of the big "Mammut"-Radar ("Mammoth") that were both used to detect and track allied bomber groups and to guide the German fighters.

The Atlantic Wall of Denmark

Between 1942 and 1945, Nazi Germany built an extensive series of fortifications along continental Europe's and Scandinavia's western coast lines. It was designed as a defense against an invasion of Europe coming from great Britain.
On the beach and in the dunes of the little town of Blåvand in Denmark, various types of bunkers were built.
The beach is lined with the Wehrmacht's machine gun bunkers.
And there was a big radio detection array called "Büffel" (Buffalo) to locate allied bomber groups, complete with a command bunker for the Luftwaffe.

These here are just some photos as a teaser, I will be coming back with some more detailed posts later.
