| relic of history |
After the German Wehrmacht conquered almost Western Europe, the Army Headquarter faced a new problem. Around 5000 km of coastal lines had to be secured against possible attacks of Allied forces. Therefore the European Atlantic Coast, from Norway to the Spanish border, became equipped with thousands of bunkers to stop any potential invasion. 1800 larger and a lot more small bunkers were constructed in Denmark alone, part of the so called Atlantic Wall. Many of them are still visible within the dunes and on the beaches, quiet witnesses to a dark chapter of history.

Very impressive panorama shot! It is a good follow an idea like this....Here near Aachen there is a prof. photographer who focused with his Hasselblad for years on many of these bunker: Algirda Millaris. He published a book on that!

Very good capture , we have a few of them here in Jersey too.Ilse Jentzsch 07/01/2011 19:32
Wäre da nicht der Erinnerungswert an eine düstere Vergangenheit würde ich empfehlen, weg mit der Verschandelung des Strands.LG Ilse
